Abstract
Introduction. For many years, we are operating tumor conditions of the larynx, and periodically we evaluate our work. It is important as it allows us to compare the operational materials and the results of treatments. Material and method. We have conducted almost 1000 surgeries of larynx cancer and we have decided to subject our results from the past 35 years to proper analysis. The purpose of this work – beyond verifi cation of regular epidemiological parameters – is to evaluate the increase in number of patients and changes in therapeutic procedures – with particular attention paid to surgical cases. The results of treatment was the third problem we have analyzed. Additionally, we own 968 records of the patients, who are systematically controlled in the widely accepted formula. The controls take on the nature of laryngological and oncological counsels. Moreover, we periodically conduct surveys, for instance acceptance of the after-treatment life. Results and conclusions. From the obtained analysis, we have determined, that the number of the sick for the studied time frame – the 1990’s – is constant. The number of women grows at a greater rate than that of men. The most significant changes appeared in the way of treatment, for instance, the new methods of oncological treatments, especially growth of operational preservation procedures of the larynx. I consider it to be the outcome of the awareness of the society, the technological step forward, and the care of surgeons of the quality of life after the treatment.
