title: [Results of radiotherapy of supraglottic laryngeal carcinomas observed at the Division of Radiotherapy of the District Hospital of Varese].
abstract: The authors review the supraglottic laryngeal carcinomas examined in the Radiotherapy Department of the "Ospedale Regionale" of Varese, Italy, from 1979 to 1984. 255 patients have been monitored: 80 considered for radiotherapy alone and 77 for postoperatory radiotherapy treatment. The cumulative actuarial survival (pcs) after 60 months, for patients treated only with radiotherapy, is 0.66 +/- e.s. 0.07; for patients treated with post-operatory radiotherapy the cumulative actuarial survival (pcs) after 60 months is 0.49 +/- e.s. 0.11. The irradiation techniques are described and the results achieved fully discussed.
