Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the results of radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with T1N0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma.

Material and methods: Retrospective study of a cohort of 338 patients with T1N0 glottic carcinoma treated with radiotherapy at our institution between 1985-1997. A review of the literature published during the last ten years was carried out.

Results: Local control with radiotherapy in our patients was 82%, reaching 97% when salvage surgery was included. The local control with radiotherapy in most of the published series ranges between 81.90%.

Conclusions: Treatment with radiotherapy achieves local control in early glottic carcinomas (T1N0) in 80-90% of cases. In our centre such treatment achieved local control in 82% of cases.
