Abstract
Management of small tumours involving the true vocal folds can be contentious. Tumour control is achieved in over 95% of patients presenting with T1 glottic cancer employing external beam radiation therapy, vertical hemilaryngectomy, or transoral endoscopic resection. Given adequate resources, the weight of evidence favours endoscopic transoral resection as the most cost-effective approach with very high rates of tumour control.
