Trends in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Early Stage Glottic Larynx Cancer and Impact on Outcome

Definitive radiation remains a treatment option for early stage glottic larynx cancer. Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been the standard treatment for more advanced head and neck cancers, while 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT) has remained standard for early glottic cancers. We used the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to identify predictors of IMRT use and effect on outcome in these patients.
