[Lymphadenopathies associated with carcinoma of the larynx (author's transl)].
On the basis of 287 cases of carcinoma of laryngeal origin, treated by total or horizontal sub-glottal laryngectomy, the authors study the prognosis in lymphadenopathies. This prognosis is envisaged in the light of the international nomenclature NO, N1, N2, N3, in relation to the size of the nodes and, finally, in relation to the surgical or radiotherapeutic treatment given to the node areas. The authors emphasise the need for bilateral surgery to the node areas, this procedure being all the more extensive when the lymphadenopathy is larger. On the basis of this size, a choice must be made between radical dissection, extended cellulo-adenectomy (or functional excision).
