Abstract:
We have applied a triple combination of 5-FU, vitamin A and Radiation (FAR therapy) to clinical treatment of laryngeal cancers. One hundred and ninety one cases of carcinoma on the larynx, treated from 1970 to 1976 at Kyushu University Hospital, were investigated retrospectively. We compared the 5-year survival rate between FAR (+) group and FAR (-) group. A highly effective synergism was shown in FAR (+) group.

02:49Cancer Therapies
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

01:21Larynx
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...
