Abstract

Retrospective analysis of patient records at two hospitals was performed with the principal goal of clarifying the role of primary radiotherapy ill patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the supraglottic larynx. Primary surgery was frequently performed during the first period from 1958 to 1978. Primary radiotherapy with surgery in reserve was the prevailing therapy during the second period from 1978 to 1993. Fewer recurrences were observed during the second period. The improved results were apparent mainly in patients with the more advanced stages (III, T4N0 and T4N1). Analysis of many factors suggest that the more frequent choice of primary radiotherapy with surgery in reserve, or applied as preoperative treatment, with optimal dosage and technique, might have contributed to the improved results.
