The 5-year cumulative disease-specific survival and larynx preservation rates were 74.6% and 73.2%, respectively. Recurrent tumors were found in two cases in stage I treated by surgery and in five cases in stage II treated with radiotherapy. Two of five recurrent cases in stage II were rescued by salvage surgery. Distant metastasis to the lung appeared in two cases in stage II after initial treatment.
