OBJECTIVES:: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of treating glottic dysplasia and early squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) photoangiolytic laser ablation.
METHODS:: Patient demographics, comorbidities, and tumor characteristics were recorded. Perceptual, patient-reported, and objective voice outcomes were assessed. Use of treatment modalities in addition to the KTP laser, development of locoregional or metastatic SCC, and overall survival were recorded.
RESULTS:: There were 23 patients with glottic dysplasia and 18 patients with glottic SCC. Mean age at treatment was 69 years. Most patients (95%) were male. Posttreatment fundamental frequency fell from 132 ± 35 to 116 ± 24 Hz ( P = .03). Overall, 61% of patients achieved a normal voice. There was a learning-curve, and most treatment failures occurred in the first half of the series. Five-year KTP-only disease-control rates were 87.1% and 53.5% for dysplasia and malignancy, respectively. Five-year overall survival was 56%, with no laryngectomies or deaths due to SCC.
CONCLUSIONS:: Ablating dysplasia and early glottic cancer using a KTP laser is a viable treatment option. It has a learning curve and a failure rate but, in this series, no ultimate loss of oncologic control. Its introduction into clinical practice should be managed carefully in the context of multidisciplinary cancer care.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:: 4.
