Does Degree of Resection Improve Survival in Laryngeal Chondrosarcomas?

Survival outcomes after resection of laryngeal chondrosarcoma are generally excellent, and contemporary management should aim to optimize laryngeal function and tailor the surgical approach based on subsite (accessibility of resection), initial extent of disease (when and how much to resect), and histologic grade. R0 resection does not appear to improve overall survival and should not usually be prioritized over preserving laryngeal function, especially in cases with a less aggressive oncologic profile.
