Abstract

The aim of this study is to present and discuss the results of initial radiotherapy with salvage surgery and to compare them with those from centres where primary surgery is the prevailing principle. The series comprised 1005 consecutive patients treated during the period 1965-1998. Salvage surgery was performed if patients had residual tumour or developed recurrence. Disease-specific survival (DSS) and crude survival (CS) after 5 years, among 643 patients with glottic carcinomas treated with curative radiotherapy was 88.6% (SE =1.3) and 65.3% (SE =2.0), respectively.
