Excerpt

Organ-preserving non-surgical modalities became the treatment protocol for laryngeal cancer over the previous few decades, when the sound for surgical treatment have been replaced by radiotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) [1]. In 1991, VA larynx trial clarified that patients with advanced stage laryngeal cancer treated with CRT gain a comparable survival outcome to patients who underwent surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. Laryngeal preservation was achieved in 64% of patients treated non-surgically [2]. In 2003, the RTOG-91-11 study proved that using CRT was effective in curing laryngeal cancer while achieving laryngeal preservation, in addition it confirmed that concurrent CRT achieved overall highest rate of organ preservation at 84% [3, 4]. …
