[Prognostic significance of tumor necrosis in cancer of laryngeal vestibule].
The degree of tumor necrosis in 245 patients with squamous cancer of the larynx were graded as: pronounced necrosis (group I), moderate necrosis (group II), insignificant necrosis (group III), absence of necrosis (group IV). Regional metastases were identified in 39%, 32%, 28.5%, 18.5% of the patients from groups I, II, III and IV, respectively. Five-year survival was, respectively, 53, 70, 14 and 78%. Tumor necrosis severity seems to be more prognostically significant than differentiation of squamous carcinoma.
