Shenyang Hospital, PLA Air Force.

The results of intraoperative and postoperative pathologic examination in 102 cases of laryngeal cancer were reported. The overall consistent rate of intraoperative and postoperative biopsy was 114/116(98%). The consistent rate of positive result was 40/40(100%), while the consistent rate of negative result was 74/76(97%). The pathological and clinical results showed that the intraoperative frozen biopsy could confirm the metastasis of cervical lymph node. When frozen biopsy was positive, the neck dissection should be performed. When frozen biopsy was negative, the neck dissection should not be performed in most cases, or the functional neck dissection may be performed in some cases.
