The 659 cases of laryngeal carcinoma treated by surgery from 1980 to 1994 was taken into analysis. The modification of age, sex, primary localisation and clinical advancement of disease was analysed. The significant increase highly advanced cases was pointed out, as a main factor influencing the treatment results.
The purpose of the study was a comparison of clinical and pathological assessment of cervical lymph nodes metastases in advanced carcinoma of larynx and the hypopharynx. The outspread, size and number of the nodes metastases to the particular regions of the neck was taken into analysis. The differences and occurrence in clinical and pathological assessment was pointed out.
The 45 cases in which the Cisplatin on 5-Fluorouracil was administered for treatment of advanced head and neck cancer was taken into analysis. The chemotherapy was used as: a) a palliation b) an induction chemotherapy before surgery, c) an induction chemotherapy before radiotherapy. The discussion of usefulness of this line of conduct was undertaken.
