    Nyckelord :Laryngeal cancer; accelerated radiotherapy; predictive factors; pre-radiotherapy hemoglobin level; MVD; p53; Ki-67; EGFr; histopathologic differentiation.;

    Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy (RT) and surgery are the only two curative treatments for patients with laryngeal cancer (LC).
