Abstract
Purpose : To assess the effectiveness and problems of the primary radiation therapy and salvage surgery in a series of patients affected by T1-T2NO glottic cancers treated from 1985 to 1991 at the Pusan National University Hospital. Materials and Methods : From 8/85 to 12/91,34 patients affected by early glottic carcinoma histologically proven were treated with curative radiation therapy, Distribution of patients according to T stage was 30 for T1 and 4 for T2. Male to female ratio was 33:1. Age of patients ranged from 31 to 73 with mean age of 58 years. All of the patients were treated with radical radiation with total tumor dose of 63-75. 3Gy(median 68.2Gy), of 5 weekly fractions of 1.8-2Gy and with 6MV photon beams through two laterally opposed fields. Results : The overall 5-year local control rates were
