[Surgery of laryngeal cancer in patients with heart diseases. Report of 32 cases].
Operation for laryngeal cancer in patients with heart disease is considered dangerous. Many surgeons never have performed it. The chance of operation is thus lost, or the operation postponed. From 1980 to 1988, 32 patients with heart diseases had been operated upon for laryngeal cancer. No one died of operation, nor did any patient died of heart disease during operation. The 3-year survival rate was 50%. The low survival rate might be the result of delayed operation in the majority of cases. It is the author's opinion that operation for laryngeal cancer in patients with heart disease have to be done early.
