  • Title: [Early cancer detection in the oro-pharyngo-laryngeal area: analysis of a regional screening project (author's transl)].
    Author: Steiner W, Bierl F, Köstler R, Jaumann MP, Panis R.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1976 Nov; 55(11):918-22. PubMed ID: 136575.
    Abstract:
    During a six months lasting screening project 6866 persons were examined free of cost. Inspection of the mouth, endoscopy of the naso-hypopharynx and larynx with the Wolf-endoscope after v. Stuckrad, and palpation of the neck were included. Every sixth person required further diagnosis or treatment. Precanceroses were found in almost 3%, and up to now malignomas were found in 0.3% of the screened persons. Among these 14 cases of cancer were 9 carcinomas of the larynx. This comparatively high percentage of precanceroses and cancer favors the endoscopic screening of patients with organ-related symptoms and of high risk groups.
