Survival Impact of Initial Therapy in Patients with T1-T2 Glottic Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Conclusion
In T1 disease, surgery alone shows improved 5-year DSS versus radiation alone, but this difference was not observed in T2 tumors. Additionally, surgery, rather than radiation, shows improved 5-year DSS when implemented as a first-line therapy. Combination therapy does not show improved 5-year DSS for early glottic cancer.
