[Vascularization--a prognostic indicator of radiation sensitivity of laryngeal cancer].
Vascularization of laryngeal tumors in 79 patients was determined using a specially devised method. According to the quantity of capillaries in a visual field 3 degrees of vascularization were singled out. A close correlation between the vascularization of tumors and their radiocurability was revealed. In poorly vascularized tumors the local regression and 5-year survival were significantly lower than those in richly vascularized tumors.
