Evaluation of Local Recurrence and Second Malignancy in Patients with T1 and T2 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx

Abstract

Heavy tobacco use and T stage appears to correlate with an increase in local relapse rates. Gender, age, anteriorcommissure involvement, treatment energy, treatment interruption, and alcohol use did not significantly correlate with local relapse rates. The risk of second malignancies is comparable to that of local relapse.
