[Microsurgery in the radiation treatment of laryngeal cancer].

Endolaryngeal microsurgery was used for early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer and raising the efficacy of radiation therapy. Of 141 laryngeal cancer patients early stages were revealed in 115 (81.56%). Total and subtotal biopsy made it possible to reduce tumor volume and to create conditions for more effective radiation therapy. A primary curative effect was obtained in 88.17% of the patients. Endolaryngeal resection of stenosing tumors of III-IV stages was conductive to combined and palliative radiation therapy without performing tracheostomy.
