Transoral CO2 laser treatment for Tis–T3 glottic cancer: The University of Brescia experience on 595 patients

Abstract: This series confirms the good oncologic outcomes of endoscopic laser surgery for T(is), T(1), and selected T(2) and T(3) glottic tumors.

“…Literature concludes that TLM can be considered an established therapeutic option for selected advanced T stage laryngeal tumours, based on good oncologic, functional and economic considerations with an organ preservation rate over 60% in the vast majority of cases [4,16,55,56]. In case of laryngeal tumours involving or originating from the anterior commissure (AC), difficulties in treatment could be related to tumour exposure and technical limitations of lack of perpendicular laser tool, which could be minimised by an enlarged resection and advanced surgical experience with TLM which allow the achievement of comparable oncologic and functional results with low morbidity [24,34].…”

“…in contrast, both transoral robotic surgery (Tors) and transoral laser microsurgery use natural access through the oral cavity and do not damage soft tissues of the neck 4,5 . The benefits of the latter operation are well known.…”

“…Recent studies demonstrate local control with radiotherapy for T1 glottis neoplasias ranging from 82% to 93%, preserving the larynx in 89% to 96% of cases, and for T2 tumors, 57% to 82% for local control, and preservation of the larynx in 73% to 82% 30 . The rate of relapse with surgical treatment is small and depends on factors such as: involvement of the anterior commissure due to its difficult access site for adequate resection; the ideal laryngeal exposure during the surgical procedure for the various open laryngectomy techniques and for endolaryngeal or trans-oral laser resections; and conditions inherent to the patient 31 . From 1998 on, there was a change in the treatment of laryngeal cancer, with the institution of radiotherapy associated or not with chemotherapy, with the intention of preserving organs, indicated mainly for stages III (T3) 11,32 .…”
