Popis: In 4 ENT Clinics of Medical Akademies in Poznań, Warszawa, Kraków, Lublin 2620 laryngeal cancer patients were operated upon during the years 1980-1987. The treatment failure occurred in 760 cases (29%). The following possible to discover factors were probably responsible for unsuccessful results: prolonged diagnostic procedure, upper laryngeal localization of tumors, advanced extents T3 and T4 (83%), advanced clinical stages of cancer (III degree and IV degree 85%), lack of surgical radicality especially in neck dissection. The early recurrencies in these places in apart of patients spoke for the presence of the neoplasmatic cells in this region.
