Objective: To investigate the quality of life after partial laryngectomy versus total laryngectomy for recurrent laryngeal carcinomas after radiotherapy.
Study Design And Setting: A retrospective study performed at least one year after treatment. This study was performed in a university hospital.
Results: Twenty-three patients (N = 12 partial laryngectomy, N = 11 total laryngectomy) with recurrent laryngeal cancer after radiotherapy were included in the study. Three different questionnaires, 1) EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 Dutch version 3.0, 2) EORTC-H & N 35, and 3) the Voice Handicap Index, were sent to all patients. The only major difference in quality of life of patients after partial laryngectomy versus total laryngectomy was found to be smell and taste related. No other differences were found.
Conclusion: We did not find much difference in quality of life after treatment with a partial laryngectomy or a total laryngectomy in patients with recurrent laryngeal cancer after radiotherapy.

Objective: To evaluate whether supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) may be a viable alternative to radiation therapy (RT) for patients with glottic cT3N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who are surgical candidates for total laryngectomy (TL) and respond well to platinum-based induction chemotherapy.
Methods: Retrospective case series review of 18 consecutive patients with cT3N0M0 glottic SCC, initially considered surgical candidates only for TL who showed a good response to platinum-based induction chemotherapy, managed at a French university teaching institution with either SCPL (n = 9) or RT (n = 9). The main endpoints were 10-year local control and laryngeal preservation.

Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a retrospective review of the 40-year experience of three oncology referral centers in the field of reconstructive laryngeal surgery.
Materials And Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis included adult patients who underwent reconstructive laryngeal surgery for cT2-T4a laryngeal cancer (LC) between 1 June 1987 and 1 July 2019. Patients were stratified according to the European Laryngological Society classification for open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL).
