Abstract
Four hundred and eighty six previously untreated patients with cancer of the larynx were radically irradiated at the Institute of Oncology in Krakow in the years 1951--1966. Five-year cure rate without cancer symptoms after irradiation as the only treatment was 43% or 209 of 486 cases, and after surgery for recurrent cancer there were in addition, 55 survivors (11%). Dosage schemes of /sup 60/Co therapy for laryngeal tumor have been devised giving a dose of 6,000 rads per 24 fractions in 5 weeks. When irradiating the larynx together with cervical lymph nodes the dose of 6,000 rads was given during 6 to 7 weeks plus further irradiation at a lower dose if necessary. Two techniques of /sup 60/Co irradiation of typical cases of laryngeal cancer are described.
