2015, Surgical Oncology Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Bulky lesions with pretreatment airway compromise may not be appropriate for initial definitive RT. Tumor volume greater than 6 cubic centimeters on pretreatment CT is a poor prognostic indicator.25 Because of the high risk of lymphatic spread in supraglottic cancers, nodal basins in the neck, at minimum levels of II to IV, should be included in the radiation field.26

2013, Neuroimaging Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Advantages include the lower risk of aspiration and the ability to address both necks without neck dissection. For patients with smaller supraglottic larynx cancers (ie, tumor volumes <6 mL), local control is 83% to 89%.32,33 After the Veterans Administration larynx trial proved that nonsurgical therapy produces survival rates equivalent to those for surgery plus adjuvant radiation,34 advanced laryngeal cancer (T3 or higher) not invading more than 1 cm of the base of tongue and without extralaryngeal spread is treated with concurrent chemoradiation.14

2011, Clinical OncologyCitation Excerpt :Drug delivery is also expected to be better in untreated well-vascularised lesions. Early studies have suggested an inverse relationship between tumour volume and local control with radiotherapy in laryngeal cancers and the same may be true for nodal control [20,21]. PF was used as this cohort of patients was treated before the publication of the TAX 324 and EORTC 24971/TAX 323 studies [22,23], which showed improved locoregional control and overall survival with the addition of docetaxel to PF (TPF) induction chemotherapy before definitive CRT or radiotherapy.
