T3N0 glottic carcinoma: DNA S-phase as a predictor of the outcome after radiotherapy
In consecutive series of 326 laryngeal cancer patients, of 29 (9%) with stage T3N0 glottic carcinomas, 23 achieved complete local remission after curative radiotherapy and form the basis of the present investigation. Flow cytometry determinations of DNA-ploidy status and the S-phase fraction, and a "histopathological malignancy grading system" were evaluated as possible patient- and/or tumor-relat
