Abstract

Diagnosis of neoplasms, especially malignant, of the larynx and pharynx and their differential diagnosis with non-tumor lesions is one of the most urgent and socially significant problems in modern oncology. Over 3000 patients with suspected cancer of the larynx and pharynx were examined in the Moscow Regional Research and Clinical Institute over the last 10 years. In most cases a CT scan was performed. Rare non-tumor diseases were confirmed in 0,5 % of the cases. In all the cases further clinical laboratory tests were carried out after the radiation examination, confirming the non-tumor nature of the identified changes, which fundamentally changed the tactics of treatment.
