title: [Curability of laryngeal cancer in relation to the starting point].
abstract: In 1960-1987, 2387, 2352 cases of larynx cancer were treated and observed. In 1484 (63.1%) cases the cancer of the epiglottis was found, in 851 (36.2%)--in glottis and in 17 (0.7%) in subglottis. Cancers of supraglottis, in 60.0% cases. were in state III and IV of clinical advance and cancers of glottis in the same state were found in 20.6% of cases. Generally 52.4% of cases of epiglottis cancer were cured of and 74.4% of glottis cancer. Relative survivals were accordingly: 59.0% and 87.0%. In the period of 5-year observation 47.6% of cases of epiglottis cancer died and 25.6% died of glottis cancer. The chances of recovering of epiglottis and glottis cancer are similar when the cancer is in the same state of clinical advance. 76.3% of objects with epiglottis cancer and 83.8% of glottis cancer in the early state (I and II) of clinical advance survived for 5 years and 37.6% objects sick of epiglottis cancer and 38.7% with glottis cancer in clinical state III and IV.
