From January 1968 to December 1982, 151 patients with laryngeal carcinoma were treated in our department. Their cases were reviewed retrospectively in December 1984. In 79 cases the cancer was glottic, in 63 it was supraglottic, and in 9 it was subglottic.
According to the UICC TNMsystem (1978), 33 cancers were stage I (21.9%), 38 (25.2%) stage II, 59 (39%) stage III and 21 (13.9%) stage IV.
