Abstract
A retrospective review of 58 patients of supraglottic carcinoma treated by supraglottic horizontal laryngectomy at Kurume University Hospital between 1971 and 1990 was completed. The following results were obtained:1. The 3-year primary control rate by supraglottic horizontal laryngectomy was 85%.2. There was no difference in the 3-year primary control rate between Ti or T2 and T3 or T4 lesions.3. The 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rates calculated by Kaplan-Meier method were 82% and 71%, respectively.4. Supraglottic horizontal laryngectomy is indicated for T2 carcinoma, but can be used to treat some T3 or T4 cases.5. Controlling of neck metastasis is the most important issue in treating supraglottic carcinoma.
