Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the retrospective of the cases of Supraglottic Larynx Carcinoma at our clinic.
Material-Method: 97 patients were evaluated during our study who were treated and followed up between the years 1989-1997. The cases were studied according to sex, age group, operations they have received, histological type, differentiation degree and stages they were in.
Results: 94 patients were male, 3 were female, 76.2% had total larengectomi, 23.7% had partial larengectomi. 46.3% Ipsilateral, 45.3 had bilateral dissection. Only 47 patients had differentiation determined and from these, 8 case were well differentiated, 28 case were average differentiated, 11 were badly differentiated. According to stages: 2% were 1 stage, 7.3% cases were of stage 2, 42.3% were stage 3, 48.5% were stage 4. Smoking and drinking were observed positive with 85% of the cases.

Materyal-Metod: Boyun disseksiyonu ile birlikte olan veya olmayan total veya parsiyel larenjektomi sonrasý baþvuran ve postoperatif radyoterapi uygulanan supraglottik larenks kanserli 97 hasta cinsiyet, yaþ grubu daðýlýmlarý, uygulanan cerrahi yöntem, histopatolojik tip, differansiasyon derecelen ve evreleri göz önüne alýnarak incelendi.
Bulgular: Hastalann 94’ü erkek, 3’ü kadýndý. Olgularýn %76.2’sine total larenjektomi, %23.7’sine parsiyel larenjektomi uygulanmýþtýr, %46.3’üne ipsilateral, %45.37iine ise bilateral boyun disseksiyonu uygulanmýþtýr. Differansiasyon derecesi saptanmýþ 47 olgunun 8’i iyi differansiye, 28’i orta derecede differansiye, 11’i kötü differans‘ýye idi. Olgularýn %2’si evre 1, %7.3’ü evre 2, %42,3’ü evre 3, %48.5’i evre 4’tür. Sigara anamnezi %85 olguda saptanmýþtýr.
