440 patients with the plano-epithelial laryngeal cancer were radically treated by radiotherapy in Oncologic Department ZOZ in Lublin during the years 1976-1985. Among them were 23 (5.2%) "young" patients, aged below 40. In this group 10 patients (43%) revealed the first grade of clinical stage of the disease, whereas in remaining material there were 25% of cases in the first grade. The therapeutic effects in "young" group were the same as in the rest of cases. The percentage of "young" cancer patients became greater during the time: in 1976-80-4.1%, in 1981-85-6.1%.
