Voice showdown: laser vs. radiation for early throat cancer

NCT ID NCT04057209

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two standard treatments for early-stage larynx cancer: laser surgery and a newer, more precise radiation therapy that targets only the affected vocal cord. The main goal is to see which approach better preserves voice quality over two years. About 34 adults with stage 0 or I glottic cancer will be randomly assigned to one of the treatments and will report their voice function using a questionnaire.
