This is a retrospective analysis of 68 patients with Stage T3 squamous cell carcinoma of the glottic larynx treated with surgery and/or irradiation from March 1965 to April 1981 at the University of Florida. Follow-up ranged from 2 to 17.5 years. Initial local-regional control of disease above the clavicles (i.e., prior to salvage attempts) by treatment technique for patients a risk for greater than or equal to 2 years was 11/19 (58%) with irradiation alone, 5/7 (71%) with preoperative irradiation and surgery, 8/9 (89%) with surgery and postoperative irradiation, and 18/23 (78%) with surgery alone. Initial control of disease at the primary site was accomplished in 11/18 (61%) treated with radiation therapy alone, and ultimate control of the primary was obtained in 15/18 (83%) after surgical salvage. Analysis of complications and survival is included, and treatment recommendations are discussed.
