A group of 287 laryngeal carcinoma patients was discussed, who were operationally treated over the period of ten years (1974-1983). Three- and five-year-long symptomless survivals were presented taking into account: age, sex, environment, habits, development of cancer on the base of precancerous conditions, primary localisation, progression of cancer in the larynx, presence of nodular metastases and a degree of clinical progression. In a group of 206 patients treated only operationally there were 65% of 5-year-long symptomless survivals, in a group 61 patients treated by the combined method--33%, and finally in a group of patients with recurrence after irradiation treated operationally there were only 25% of 5-year-long survivals.
