[Criteria for multispiral X-ray computed tomography for the choice of extent of surgery on the tumour spreading outside the larynx].
The authors summarize the experience with the treatment of 38 patients with disseminated laryngeal tumours (stages III and IV). All the patients underwent comprehensive medical examination using a variety of methods. Their advantages and drawbacks are analysed with reference to diagnostic value, potential for the detection of metastases, and possibility to use for the choice of extent of surgical intervention. Criteria for multispiral X-ray computed tomography have been developed to be applied to the identification of tumour spread outside the larynx and invasion of its cartilaginous structures.
