Radiological tumor thickness as a risk factor for local recurrence in early glottic cancer treated with laser cordectomy

Objectives Despite the excellent prognosis of early glottic cancer (T1–T2), the significance of preoperatively measured tumor thickness has not been elucidated. We evaluated the role of tumor thickness measured using computed tomography (CT) as a predictive factor for recurrence of early glottic cancer after transoral laser microsurgery (TLM).
