Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the impact of radiofrequency coblation for the treatment of Tl glottic cancer.
METHOD:Six patients with early-stage glottic cancer (Tla = 5, Tlb = 1) treated with coblation were enrolled in this study. The outcome of the surgery were analyzed.
RESULT:No complication happened during the follow-up of 6 to 12 months. All patients achieved satisfactory post-operative voice.
CONCLUSION:Although current probe design limits the potential for resection of some tumors, radiofrequency coblation appears to be an attractive evolving technique for the endoscopic resection of selected glottic cancer.
