Radiation induced tumours of the Pharynx—can they be avoided?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Three patients who developed a post-cricoid carcinoma 5–21 years after radiotherapy for carcinoma of the larynx are presented. These patients received radiotherapy when they were young. It is suggested that alternative forms of treatment, especially partial laryngectomy with the aid of a laser should be considered in the primary management of small tumours of the larynx of young patients.
