Purpose. To compare the quality of life of patients with early glottic carcinoma who have been treated using three treatment modalities: endoscopic cordectomy using radiofrequency microdissection electrodes (ECRM), transoral laser cordectomy, and radiotherapy (RT). ECRM, transoral laser cordectomy, and RT can all be used as alternatives to invasive open surgery to treat the early stages of glottic cancer such as stage T1. Patients treated using these different modalities could have different outcomes with respect to voice quality of life.
