Abstract

(1)The four therapeutic groups achieved similar rates of disease specific survival and ultimate local control. (2) Low-dose radiation was associated with significantly lower overall actuarial survival and unaided laryngeal voice preservation. (3) Endoscopic resection was associated with a significantly lower initial local control rate, but following salvage therapy achieved equivalent results to the other treatment methods. (4) Patients with (T1 N0 M0) glottic carcinoma had similar survival, local control, and unaided laryngeal voice preservation rates with high-dose radiation, conservation surgery, and endoscopic resections, but not with low-dose radiation therapy.
