title: [Laryngeal cancer in females in Camaguey (Cuba)].
abstract: We studied cancer of the larynx in women seen at our hospital from 1985 to 1992. The incidence was 15.4%, a figure exceeding that usually reported in the bibliography. It was predominant between 51 and 70 years. The tumors had diverse clinical stages, stage I being predominant with the exception of glottic-supraglottic tumors. The most frequent treatment was radiotherapy, followed by total laryngectomy.
