INTRODUCTION: Most @entity1 with @entity189 present @entity5 in the glottis that can be treated by different treatment modalities. Some authors consider open partial laryngectomy as obsolete, while others still deem this as a viable and cost-efficient option. OBJECTIVES: To compare the oncological and functional results of a series of @entity1 undergoing partial laryngectomy vs. external radiotherapy for the treatment of @entity5 . METHODS: Historical cohort study with a series of @entity189 @entity1 undergoing partial laryngectomy or external radiotherapy during a period of ten years. RESULTS: Sixty-two @entity1 with @entity189 were included. Group A comprised those submitted to partial laryngectomy (n=30), and Group B, those who underwent radiotherapy (n=32). They were homogeneous in the comparison of mean age, 56.4 vs. 60.4 years (p=0.12) and distribution in pathological stage (p=0.91). With regard to oncological outcome, there were no differences in distant @entity3 rates, or second @entity5 between groups (p=1.0), as well as in disease-free time, laryngeal rescue-free time, and overall five-year survival. Severe complication rates were also similar between groups. CONCLUSION: Open partial laryngectomy had complication rates and oncological results similar to those of radiotherapy for @entity1 with @entity189 and should still be considered among the main available therapeutic options.
