[Contribution of the combination of radiation and surgery in the treatment of invasive pharyngo-laryngeal carcinoma].
On the basis of the retrospective analysis of 269 cases of pharyngo-laryngeal carcinoma, the authors recall that the degree of tumour invasion is one of the essential prognostic factors for this disease. The macroscopic appearance of the tumour should therefore play a determinant role in the choice of treatment, as invasive lesions are generally responsive to radiotherapy.
