The survival rates of patients with cancer of the larynx and hypopharynx cancer in Armenia after radiotherapy
Retrospectively processed 770 case histories of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx cancer who underwent curative radiotherapy at the National Centre of Oncology in Armenia using conventional technologies. The results of their overall survival were studied, depending on the location of the tumor, stage of disease, the applicable regime of dose fractionation and other indicators. The analysis of the causes of poor health outcomes has been done and some mechanisms to improve survival without additional funding have been recommended.
