SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out the preliminary catheterization of larynx artery and the following intra-arterial chemotherapy by administration of cisplatin as 6 h infusion of 80-100 ml of 0.0025% solution from 1-st to 4-th day of treatment in the total dose 100 mg/m², 5-fluorouracil as 3 h infusion of 20 ml of 5% solution from 5-th to 7-th day of treatment in the total dose 3 g. After termination of chemotherapy in 2-3 weeks after arresting adverse reactions in tumor regression above 50% the larynx resection is carried out and in regression less 50% - laryngoectomy. In 3-4 weeks after surgery operation the distance radiation therapy is carried out in a single irradiation dose 2.0 Gr in irradiation regimen 5 times per a week and in the total dose 40-46 Gr in laryngoectomy and 60-66 Gr in organ-retaining surgery operation depending on the stage of the primary process. Method provides the functional rehabilitation of patients and decreasing expression and amount of total complications of complex therapy based on step-by-step carrying out the treatment.
