| Résumé : | 87 patients with laryngeal carcinoma were treated by irradiation between 1963 - 1967, 80 with Cobalt and 7 by Betatron. The dose was 6700 to 7200 rads over a period of 6 to 7 weeks. Subglottic cancers comprised 61% and 50% were in grade T3 or T4. Thirty two patients were alive five years after treatment. Of the subglottic group 16(29%) were recurrence at five years. Laryngectomy was done in 10 of the 20 cases with local recurrence, and of these 3 survived five years. In the subglottic group, all the recurrences occurred within the first three years. An improvement in results is anticipated with an increase in the size of the fields irradiated. (Suggit - Queensland) |
