ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate the treatment outcomes for T1 N0 glottic carcinoma after definitive radiotherapy. METHODS: One hundred and seventeen patients treated with radical radiotherapy from 1990 to 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. The median follow-up duration for the entire group was 92 months (range 4-227). A median dose of 70 Gy (range 63-70 Gy) was administered. We determined the rates of local control (LC), regional control, overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS) at 5, 10 and 15 years by Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. The Cox regression analysis was performed to identify significant prognostic factors for LC and survival. The incidence of secondary malignancies is also reported. RESULTS: The 5-, 10- and 15-year LC rates for the whole group were 84, 80.2 and 80.2 %, respectively. There were 20 local recurrences, of which 19 were salvaged with laryngectomy, giving an ultimate control rate of 90.6 %. The 5-/10-/15-year OS and CSS rates were 81.2 %/66.1 %/48.3 % and 90.6 %/90.6 %/90.6 %, respectively. None of the parameters analyzed exhibited a statistically significant relationship with LC. The age ≥65 years had a statistically significant effect on OS (but not in CSS), with a hazard ratio of 2.45 (95 % confidence interval 1.29-4.66; p = 0.006). During follow-up, 26 patients (22 %) developed a secondary malignancy. Only two patients (1.7 %) presented with severe toxicity (edema and mucositis). CONCLUSIONS: Radiotherapy alone offers a high likelihood of LC and an excellent CSS rate. In addition, the surgical approach for the salvage is a successful option (AU)
