Abstract

<p>A combination of docetaxel (DOC) therapy and radiotherapy was used to treat patients with T2N0 laryngeal carcinoma. Thirty-two patients with T2N0 laryngeal cancer received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (64.6–74 Gy) with weekly DOC (10 mg/m2). All the patients were male, and their average age was 66.3 years. All the patients achieved a complete response (CR). The overall survival rate, as determined using the Kaplan-Meier method, was 92.0%, and the disease-free survival rate was 92.2%. The local control rates were 88.0% for the glottis and 28.6% for the supraglottis and subglottis. Grade 3 or higher toxicities were seen in 4 patients. In conclusion, concurrent chemoradiotherapy with DOC is a feasible and effective treatment for glottic squamous cell carcinoma.</p>
