title: [Prognostic factors in radiotherapy for hypopharyngeal cancer].
abstract: This paper presents influence of selected prognostic factors on results of hypopharyngeal cancer radiotherapy used as only treatment in 97 patients irradiated in Centre of Oncology-Institute in Gliwice between 1980-1987. One-variant analysis showed statistically significant influence of gender, decrease of haemoglobin level during radiotherapy and higher T and N stages. Multivariant analysis demonstrated, that only locoregional status and treatment time has decisive importance on radiotherapy results. Thus, better results of treatment depend on lower T and N stages and correct radiotherapy time.
