[The effectiveness of combined treatment for laryngeal cancer in Silesia region during the years 1987-1996].
Between 1987-1996, 484 patients with laryngeal cancer were treated by surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. The 25-30% therapeutic gain was noted when to compare the first period of the study (1987-1992) with the second (1993-1996). The increment of effectiveness of combined treatment for larynx cancer is probably the result of better quality of surgical procedures and individualization of radiation treatment.
