title: [The role of elective neck dissection in the surgical treatment of supraglottic carcinoma].
abstract: The survival rates of 622 operative cases with supraglottic carcinoma from October, 1977 to October, 1990 treated in The First Hospital of CMU were compared. The 3.5 and 10 year survival rates were 79.48%, 72.53% and 65.22% respectively. With regard to different surgical procedures, the 3.5 and 10 year-survival rates of END was 94.54%, 91.29% and 86.60% respectively; those of CND were 55.79%, 42.39% and 31.17%; and of NND, 79.15%, 74.53% and 68.56%. There were significant differences between either two groups. The authors suggest that elective neck dissection has an important role in surgical treatment of patients with supraglottic carcinoma.
