[The prognostic significance of impaired vocal cord motility in patients with stage II glottic cancer treated with radiotherapy].
Eighty-five patients with stage II glottic laryngeal cancer were treated with radiotherapy in Center of Oncology in Kraków between 1973 and 1989. Fifty-five patients were irradiated with 60Co unit, 30 with mixed photon--electron beam. The 5-year survival rates without evidence of disease after the radiotherapy only were 65.9%, after the radiotherapy and surgery for recurrences--76.5%. The sex, age, local extension of primay tumour and vocal cord mobility were evaluated in a uni- and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors. For the end-point of 5-year survival without evidence of disease no statistically significant relationship was found between results and analysis variables, especially between survival and impaired cord mobility.
