Therapeutic results in 265 cases of laryngeal cancer.
Between January 1, 1970 and December 31, 1974, 265 patients were treated for laryngeal cancer at Hôpital Notre-Dame, University of Montreal. Results have been studied according to initial stage and treatment. It seems that combined treatment significantly improves the survival rate in patients with T3 T4 lesions although distant metastasis appeared in 12.4 per cent of cases treated. There is a high incidence of distant metastasis in advanced lesions despite local control.
