RE: Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Patients with Early-Stage Glottic Cancer: Patterns of Care and Survival

An article in the Journal by Bledsoe et al. recently reported on patterns of care and survival in patients treated with radiotherapy for early-stage glottic carcinoma (1). A similar study by Stokes et al. was also published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology * Biology * Physics (2). Both evaluated the role of hypofractionated radiotherapy using the National Cancer Database and identified almost the same patients. The results and conclusions, not surprisingly, were the same: that hypofractionated radiotherapy yielded a small overall survival benefit.
