Abstract

Early glottic squamous cell carcinoma (Tis–T1) is a highly treatable disease by any of the main treatment methods available. Carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and radiotherapy (RT) are considered the two main treatment methods for early glottic carcinomas. However, the both treatment strategies have advantages and disadvantages. TLM is by many authors described as the gold standard mainly due to better overall survival, shorter hospitalization, lower morbidity, and arguably better functional outcomes compared to those of RT. Furthermore, TLM as a primary treatment strategy leaves open all treatment options in patients with recurrent disease.
