The treatment of intrinsic cancer of the larynx by laryngofissure is remarkably satisfactory. It is doubtful if the results of operation for cancer in any other part of the body can surpass those which I have already reported.1Since giving full particulars and showing cases before the Medical Society of London in 1912, I have continued to obtain the same results; that is, no patient has been lost by operation, and 80 per cent. have remained free from recurrence.
