A profile of laryngeal cancer in Auckland 1965-1979.
Laryngeal cancer presents early with hoarseness, but other symptoms such as cough, throat pain, dysphagia or dyspnoea should not be ignored. Middle-aged men with a history of high tobacco and alcohol consumption are particularly at risk. The age, sex incidence and anatomical site of the tumour in Auckland, New Zealand, is similar to that reported in Australia.
