β¦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
The current conservative standard of care for T2 squamous cell carcinoma of the glottis is either partial laryngectomy or radiation therapy.
METHODS.
Based on an inception cohort of 100 patients with T2 squamous cell carcinoma of the glottis and a minimum of 3 years of follow-up, the present study documented the results achieved with a multimodal strategy using platinum-based induction chemotherapy and partial laryngeal surgery. Statistical analysis of survival and local control was based on the Kaplan-Meier actuarial life table method.
Univariate analysis was performed to determine whether there was a correlation among various factors and toxicity, clinical response, histologic regression, local control, and survival.
