Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the supraglottic larynx is treated primaril y by conservation surgery or radiotherapy for early to moderately adva nced lesions, and total laryngectomy, with or without irradiation, for advanced tumors. This article reviews the role of radiotherapy, used alone or in combination with surgery, for squamous cell carcinoma of t he supraglottic larynx. Treatment philosophy, techniques, and results from the University of Florida are emphasized.
