title: [Therapy and prognosis in 360 laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers at the Erfurt ENT clinic 1978-1987].
abstract: We report 316 patients with carcinoma of the larynx and 44 patients with carcinoma of the hypopharynx. The 5-year survival rate for supraglottic carcinoma was 53%, for glottic carcinoma 74%, and for hypopharyngeal carcinoma 18%. The ratio of men to women was 17:1. The risk factors of chronic laryngitis, abuse of nicotine and alcohol are described.
