title: Cytopathology in cancer of larynx.
abstract: The results of brush cytological smears were compared with the microscopical examination of punch biopsies obtained from 60 patients with suspected cancer of the larynx. The bronchofibroscope 'Olympus BF B3' was used to obtain the brush specimens. The results of cytology and pathology specimens were found identical in 93.3% of cases. Comparison between our results and previous similar work is presented.
