[Cancer of the larynx in women].
A group of 143 women with larynx cancer operated upon in ENT Clinic of Medical Academy in Poznań during the years 1946-87 was described. The statistical analysis was performed as regards to age, localization, clinical stage, surgery, five years survival, occupation and tobacco smoking. The results were compared with those of 2184 larynx cancer men treated in the same time. Women constituted 6.1% surgically treated population. The number of women with larynx cancer continually increased. The age 21-40 prevailed. The glottic part of the larynx was the most affected. The percentage of women in II clinical stadium was higher. Five years survival rate was the same in both groups. Any type of occupation in the women group prevailed. Women like men were strong tobacco smokers.
