Abstract
At the ENT-Univ. Clinic Halle/Saale 1231 patients suffering from an histological verified cancer of the larynx have been observed over the last 33 years. The numbers of male cases have been trebled within the last 30 years. This trend could not be observed in women. The increase is connected with a remarcable concentration of the supraglottic localisation. Despite of intensive information of the population most of the patients only turn to our clinic in the stage II and III (TNM-system). Only in 9.9% of the cases their fate remained unknown.
