laryngeal VC is often described as a bulky exophytic lesion with a papillomatous appearance projecting from the larynx;
According to a national survey in the United States, surgery as a single modality was used in >60% of all LVC cases registered between 1985 and 1996 (Koch)
Plagerized from Huang: initial control of LVC with RT is less reliable compared with reports from surgical series; however, local recurrence was almost always salvaged successfully, resulting in disease-specific survival rates equivalent to those of surgical series. Neither anaplastic transformation nor unusual metastasis development was observed in this series.
