ABSTRACT

Recently the statistics regarding cancer of the larynx were reported by many authors. But the clinical statistics on the title were poorly reported up-to-date in Korea. The author had observed and figured out their clinical statistics of 67 cases of cancer of the larynx. They were all cases which verified histopathologically during five year period (Oct. 1960-Sept. 1965) at Dept. of Otolaryngology, S.N.U.H. The following results were obtained. 1) In this study, there were 57 male (85%) and 10 females (15%), about 6 times more frequent in man than woman. 2) Age distribution showed a predilection for fifth and sixth decades (over 70%). The average cancer age was 56.4 in year. 3) The histopathological classification of the laryngeal cancer was as follows ; Squamous cell carcinoma 63 cases (92.5%), Epidermoid carcinoma 3 cases (4.5%), Probably Squamous cell carcinoma 1 case (1.5%), Basal cell carcinoma 1 case (1.5%). 4) Most of the cases (62.6%) had visited the Dept. of Otolaryngology, S.N.U.H. within 6 months after onset. 5) The distribution according to the location of tumors was as follows ; Supraglottic carcinoma 52.2% (35 cases), Glottic carcinoma 32.8% (22 cases), Laryngopharyngeal carcinoma 4.5% (3 cases), Subglottic carcinoma 3.0% (2 cases), Undetermined 7.3% (5 cases). 6) The distribution of cancer of the larynx according to relationship between the stages and locations was as shown (table 15). 7) The metastases to the deep lateral cervical nodes were arisen chiefly from the laryngopharyngeal and supraglottic lesions (70%). 8) The metastaes to the deep anterior cervical nodes were arisen chiefly from the glottic and subglottic lesions (80%). 9) The metastases to the submaxillary nodes were arisen chiefly from the laryngopharyngeal and supraglottic lesions (75%).
