Abstract

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the potential utility of supracricoid partial laryngectomies (SCPLS) for non-squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. To illustrate our management of such tumours we present a case series based on six patients. Local control was achieved in five patients, with the sixth being salvaged by total laryngectomy and post-operative radiation therapy. Three of the six patients died of distant metastases. We concluded that supracricoid partial laryngectomies should become part of the armamentarium of the otolaryngologist - head and neck surgeon for non-squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.
