| Summary: | In the past decades, several options have been designed in order to preserve vocal function in patients with early glottic cancer, such as transoral laser microsurgery, new surgical strategies such as partial laryngectomy and radiation therapy (RT). With the development of new radiation techniques enabling a more accurate delivery of radiation dose, and the possibility to deliver high dose per fraction while sparing adjacent organs-at-risks (OARs), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is being increasingly tested in this disease setting. We aimed to shed light on this appealing strategy, as well as to underline both optimal target population and specific technical considerations. |
