Introduction: In recent years, the CO2 laser has become a very useful tool in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.
Material and Methods: Retrospective review of laryngeal cancer with CO2 laser surgery with curative intent between January 2OO2 and December 2OO8 in the Department of ORL (Xeral- Cies Hospital).
Results: Thirty-four laryngeal carcinomas were operated (9 glottic and 25 supraglottic). According to the TNM classification they were divided into: 13 T1, 19 T2 and 2 T3. Twelve of them received additional RT, given the extent of the tumor at the time of surgery. Loco-regional recurrence developed in 9 (25.71%), 5 of them with were treated with laser salvage surgery and three with open surgery (two partial and one total laryngectomy). Overall survival: 57.55%. Disease-free survival: 63.48%.
Conclusion: CO2 laser is a good alternative in the treatment of laryngeal carcinoma (both supraglottic and glottic), with a high rate of local control.
