The end results of 264 patients with vocal cord carcinoma treated by either surgery or radiation therapy at the University of Illinois from 1955 to 1972 are analyzed. Stage I glottic carcinoma can be cured by either surgery or radiation alone (86 percent and 80 percent). Stage II glottic cancer treated by surgery has achieved survival rates of 70 percent. The five-year end results of Stage III glottic cancer are 49 percent for surgery and 30 percent for radiation. The management of glottic carcinoma, according to anatomic site and indications for various modalities are discussed.
The subject of combined therapy for carcinoma of the head and neck is as perplexing now as it was in its beginning. Low vs high dose pre-operative radiation for carcinoma of the larynx remains a valid question. A total of 92 patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma were studied at the University of Illinois. The results of treatment for 2 patients receiving planned low dose pre-operative radiation and 30 patients receiving planned high dose pre-operative radiation have been studied, using the actuarial method to calculate survival. Improved survival and decreased complications are evident in the low dose pre-operative group as compared to the high dose pre-operative group.
