Objective:
To investigate the impact of radiofrequency coblation for the treatment of Tl glottic cancer.
Method:
Six patients with early-stage glottic cancer (Tla = 5, Tlb = 1) treated with coblation were enrolled in this study. The outcome of the surgery were analyzed.
Result:
No complication happened during the follow-up of 6 to 12 months. All patients achieved satisfactory post-operative voice.
Conclusion:
Although current probe design limits the potential for resection of some tumors, radiofrequency coblation appears to be an attractive evolving technique for the endoscopic resection of selected glottic cancer.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
