Management of stage II (T2N0M0) glottic carcinoma by radiotherapy and conservation surgery

Abstract

High dose and daily fractionation (70 Gy at 2 Gy daily fraction doses) radiation achieved results equivalent to those of conservation surgery in 5-year local control, survival, and voice preservation. In advanced T2B disease, treatment of the ipsilateral neck nodes by radiotherapy or functional neck dissection reduced regional metastases.
