Extrinsic laryngeal carcinoma: A clinical evaluation of 124 cases

Abstract One hundred twenty-four patients at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Boston had primary carcinoma located in the zone of the extrinsic larynx. Thirty-five of these, with lesions judged to be inoperable, received external irradiation only. Considerable palliation was achieved in these cases, but there were no cures. Simple laryngectomy usually failed to cure because of a very high incidence of later nodal metastases. Radical laryngectomy with simultaneous neck dissection was performed in seventy-one patients and yielded the best results with a 25 per cent gross three year survival rate.
