title: [Extracapsular spread of lymph nodes as a prognostic factor in laryngeal carcinoma].
abstract: The authors analysed clinical and morphological data of 105 patients with laryngeal carcinoma metastases in cervical lymph nodes treated in Department of Otolaryngology Medical University of Gdańsk in the years 1976-1985. The incidence of extracapsular spread and its relation to certain features of primary tumor and regional lymph nodes were estimated. The authors presented treatment results in two group of patients--with and without presence of extracapsular spread and stated prognostic value of extracapsular spread in patients with laryngeal carcinoma.
