Abstract

Early glottic cancer can be effectively treated with surgery or radiotherapy showing the comparable treatment results. Since radiation therapy may be better in terms of voice preservation, it tends to be preferred in early glottic cancer. Most common recurrence site is glottis after radiation therapy and complete remission of glottic primary site followed by local recurrence limited to neck is very rare. The authors are reporting a patient with regional recurrence of central neck lymph nodes after radiation therapy for T1a glottic cancer.
