ABSTRACT
LP strategies should be considered only in patients with resectable stage III/IV larynx and hypopharynx SCC, ideally those who have a functional larynx. The choice of treatment must be discussed by a multidisciplinary team, and the patient must have an active role in making the decision. CRT and IC-RT are both approved larynx-preservation approaches. IC-RT has demonstrated high rates of LP without decreasing DFS or OS, compared with surgery. CRT has demonstrated better LP rates, as well as local control and LRC, compared with IC-RT, and it should be considered a standard of care.
