[The control of chronic laryngitis by endoscopic and histomorphologic methods (author's transl)]

Long time endoscopic-bioptic of 111 patients with chronic laryngitis made it possible to state cancer of the larynx in 12 patients. The diagnosis was made in the prognostically favourable stages T1 and T2N0M0 provided the controls were carried out immediately, considering histomorphologic degrees of malignancy (KLEINSAZSSER). A dispensaire of patients with increased risk cancer of the larynx can considerably improve early diagnosis in collaboration between family physician, specialist and special clinic applying speculum-examination of the larynx, laryngoscopy in general anaesthesia and microlaryngoscopy, as described by HEROLD for the district of Magdeburg (1964--1974).
