  • Title: [Role of computerized tomography in the TNM staging of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal neoplasms].
    Author: Querin F, Barzan L, Galassi G, Piazza P, Coran F, Galofaro G, Lutman M.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1986 Dec; 72(12):947-50. PubMed ID: 3797718.
    Abstract:
    70 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of larynx and hypopharynx were examined by computed tomography; the TNM staging of tumors by CT, by endoscopy and by surgical operation was reviewed. CT proved to be reliable both to recognize the presence of neoplasms, with the exception of those very superficial, and their deep spreading to pre-epiglottic and para-laryngeal spaces, to the soft tissues of the neck and to the cartilages. Therefore CT is the examination of choice in laryngeal neoplasms staging, because it precisely completes the clinical and endoscopical informations.
