Abstract:
302 patients with planocellular larynx carcinoma treated by total laryngectomy during the period from 1975 to 1986 were analyzed. In the examined group of patients significant risk factors in tracheostoma relapse appearance were the next: glottis-subglottis tumor localization and regionally spread tumor. Planned postoperative radiotherapy can significantly reduce the risk of tracheostoma local relapses' appearance.
