title: Failure of radiation therapy in stage I and II glottic squamous cell carcinoma.
abstract: Radiation therapy is frequently employed for Stage I and II lesions of the glottis. This study of the clinical course of patients with such cancers of the glottis was undertaken in an attempt to determine the period of greatest risk for recurrence and the most common location of recurrence, which can have treatment implications.
