[Results of treatment on laryngeal cancer].
We have applied a triple combination of 5-FU, vitamin A and Radiation (FAR therapy) to clinical treatment of laryngeal cancers. One hundred and ninety one cases of carcinoma on the larynx, treated from 1970 to 1976 at Kyushu University Hospital, were investigated retrospectively. We compared the 5-year survival rate between FAR (+) group and FAR (-) group. A highly effective synergism was shown in FAR (+) group.
