An Attempt of Group Examination of Hoarseness

Abstract

In order to get a good results of treatment in case of patients with cancer it is necessary to diagnose and treat in early stage and with skilfulness. For the purpose of early diagnosis of the cancer of the larynx we examined 450 patients with hoarseness in 5 cities in our district. Among them we could find 5 patients with cancer of the larynx (1.7%). The stages in which they were found were as follows:
I stage…2, II stage…2,
III stage…3, IV stage…1.
The patients in I stage were cured with radioisotope and 6 patients with operation. One patient in III stage were too weak to be operated.
We hope that such attempt is to be realized all over the world and patients with cancer of the larynx are found in early stage.
