Authors' objectives:
This aim of this report was to assess whether laser resection of T1-T2 N0 glottic cancer gives superior results in local control (cure) and functional outcome (voice quality) compared with conventional radical radiotherapy.
Authors' recommendations:
-Thirteen studies were retrieved that met inclusion and exclusion criteria
- No randomised controlled trials were located that compared laser surgery with radiotherapy for the treatment of early glottic cancer
- Studies utilising objective voice quality assessment found that laser surgery appeared to have equally favourable results for voice quality after treatment in comparison to radiotherapy
- Studies found that similar local control rates were obtained after radiotherapy or laser surgery.
