Carcinoma of the larynx: experience at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney.
Two hundred and twenty-nine patients with carcinoma of the larynx were treated at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, during the years 1958 to 1973. A crude cumulative five-year survival of 76% in Stage I and 62% in Stage II was obtained using radiotherapy as the first treatment in these stages, reserving surgery, consisting of laryngectomy, for radiotherapy failures. A 63%, five-year survival was achieved in Stage III by using laryngectomy as the first definitive treatment.
