CANCER OF LARYNx
Is Something that Now Seems to
Bother the Practitioners.

New York. Nov. 3.-Hundreds of
specialists in diseases Of the throat
from and many other cities have
gathered to hear what they consider
one of the most important papers on
cancer of the 'larynX ever presented in
this country. 1t is prepared and read
by DR.. Felix Semon of London under
the auspices of the section of laryn-
goldy and rhyynology OF the A cademy
of Medicine.
Sir Felix laid stress OH the necessi-
ties for men who had reached the age
Of 40 years to watch closely for symp-
toms of cancer of the larynx. He ad-
vised those approaching middle age not
to delay in seeing a phycisan if ne
was troubled by hoarseness. The red
ness of the throat and the formation
of a nodul in the vicinity Of the larynx
were dangerous symptoms which ne
said should not be neglected.
Sir Felix in contradicting the theories
of many American practitioners de-
clared that if the cancer were recog-
niZed in its early stage it could be
cured without removal of the larynX.
Attention was drawn to the importance
of making a microscopical examination
of matter taken from the throat of a
patient which develops suspicious
symptoms. In describing mis- method of
treatment he said the operation known
as th!rotomy. consists merely of lay
ing back the flaps Of the cartilage
known rs the thyroids and removing
diseased tissue found in the larynx. In
this way the patients power Of speech
is saved.
Dr. Semon took the ground that oper-
atoms which resulted in the loss Of
voice and weakened the patient were
worth the trouble of prolong-
ing the life which was attended with
misery.
