[Cervical metastatic lymphnodes in laryngeal cancer patients following radiotherapy].

Analysis of the radiotherapy's failures in a form of metastatic lymph nodes was performed in the group of 373 laryngeal cancer patients. The authors point out that irradiation of large metastatic lymph nodes do not produce satisfying results. In the cases with supraglottic involvement there is a need of elective total neck irradiation.
