title: [Analysis of laryngeal cancer mortality in males in the Upper Silesia].
abstract: In the years 1985-1990 within Upper Silesia Region (Katowice Voivodeship) 25 696 males died as the result of malignant neoplasms in total, in this, 1036, i.e. 4.0% for larynx cancer. Every year died then average 173 men. Larynx cancer standardized mortality rates there are: 8.9 cases per 100 thousand on the whole area, maximal--21.4 and minimal--1.2 per 100 thousand (comparison between 45 towns and 48 community councils). Larynx cancer mortality rates among males were dynamically increasing every year by 2.8%, what confirmed by the cohort analysis as well. There has not been obtained spatial correlation between highest larynx cancer mortality level and high ambient air pollution either.
