RESUMO
Modern methods (intrascopic and other instrumental) were used to increase the diagnostic efficiency and extension of the tumour process in 22 patients with lymphosarcoma of the pharynx. Optimal treatment efficacy is achieved in lymphosarcoma of the pharynx by combined use of surgical, radiation (non-traditional course) treatment as well as chemotherapy which is used at early stages as an adjunctive method.

Quercetin granules and gel were used to provide local protection in 64 ENT-cancer patients given radiotherapy. The highest effect was obtained as a result of a combined (per os and topical) application of quercetin throughout the entire radiotherapy course. The use of quercetin granules to treat acute radiation-induced epithelitis was effective and allowed radiotherapy to be completed.

The paper is concerned with an analysis of the results of positive scintigraphy and thermography obtained from an investigation of 84 laryngeal and laryngopharyngeal cancer patients. The diagnostic accuracy of positive scintigraphy (38 patients) was 89.5%, that of thermography--78.9%, of both methods--93.3%. The authors described methodological aspects of the use of both methods and worked out indications for their use in combined diagnosis of laryngeal cancer: topical and differential diagnosis of malignant and benign laryngeal lesions, definition of a degree of tumor spreading (visualization of metastases to the lymph nodes), determination of the presence of laryngeal cancer recurrences and their differential diagnosis with postradiation edemas.
