Purpose: To evaluate the influence of fraction size, overall time, total dose, and other prognostic factors on local control of TI and T2 glottic carcinomas.Methods and Materials: Between 1956 and 1995, 398 consecutive patients with early glottic carcinoma (315 T1 and 83 T2) were treated with once-a-day definitive radiotherapy at the University of California, San Francisco, and associated institutions. Treatment was delivered 5 days per week. Minimum tumor dose ranged from 46.6 to 77.6 Gy (median: 63 Gy). The fraction size was 43 days; 100% for fraction size greater than or equal to 2.25 Gy vs. 44% for fraction size 65 Gy vs. 60% for total dose less than or equal to 65 Gy; 79% for normal cord mobility vs. 45% for impaired cord mobility, and 58% for lesions with subglottic extension vs. 77% for those,without. The severe complication rate for the entire group was low: 1.8%.Conclusions: Total dose, fraction size, and overall time were significant factors for local control of T2 but not TI glottic carcinomas. Anterior commissure involvement was associated with decreased local control for TI but not T2 lesions. For T1 lesions, local control improved over the treatment era. For T2 lesions, local control decreased with impaired cord mobility and subglottic extension. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.
