Abstract

Between October 1964 and December 1985, six patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the subglottis were treated with radical radiation therapy at the University of Florida. The disease was staged as Tis (one patient), T2N0 (two patients), and T4N0 (three patients). Local control was achieved with irradiation in four patients (66%) who were observed for 3.5, 4, 4, and 5 years after radiation therapy. Two patients whose tumors recurred at the primary site underwent salvage laryngectomy, which was successful in one patient.
