Abstract:
In advanced glottic cancer, it is widely known that definitive chemoradiation can result in comparable survival outcomes to primary surgery. This deserves consideration given the immense effects total laryngectomy (TL) has on patients. It is important to consider that not all advanced glottic tumors should be treated in the same way, and surgical management remains a critical consideration for optimization of local control and survival outcomes. Advances in organ preservation surgery and the more developed understanding of the survival benefits of TL in extensive T4 disease further support the importance of surgery in the management of advanced glottic cancer.
