✦ Synopsis

Descriptions of the patient population suffering from carcinoma of the larynx are not common in Mexico. This article deals with the clinical features, treatment, and results of 357 cases of cancer of the larynx treated at the Hospital de Oncologia, Centro Medico Nacional, IMSS, during a 10-year period. In this series, 68% of the patients were in advanced stage (T3-T4) at the time of diagnosis; nevertheless, a combination of surgery and radiotherapy achieved an actuarial 5-year survival for the entire group of 77.5%. Metastatic cervical nodes and tracheotomy previous to the treatment were factors that influenced a poor prognosis (JJ = 0.01). The survival of cases !in the early stages (Tl-T2) of 95.2% is comparable to that reported by most authors. In 87.5% of the cases that develop recurrence, it appears during the first 24 months of control.
