Abstract
Proper management of patients with cancer of the larynx or pharynx requires complete information regarding the extent of the disease. The clinical methods of evaluation of the primary lesions as recommended by the Joint Committee of Cancer Staging and End Result Reporting are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the full utilization of the roentgenographic modalities of clinical evaluation, including study by positive contrast coating of the larynx and pharynx (laryngopharyngography). The method of laryngopharyngography is briefly described. The advantages of full roentgenographic study with illustrations of selected cases from the records of the Medical College of Virginia are presented.
