ABSTRACT
The prognostic value of initial mononucleated cell counts has been evaluated in 48 patients with stage 3 and 4 squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx. The patients were treated with synchronous 5 - fluorouracil weekly infusions and radiation therapy. Twenty-four patients [50%] were considered to have abnormal counts. The abnormal counts were significantly correlated to both T and N stages. All complete responders and 12 out of 17 partial responders had their counts within normal limits. The nonresponders group were 12 patients, normal-counts were fo++ und in 1 patient of them. Mononucleated cell counts abnormalities seem to have an important prognostic value
