Abstract

Carcinoma in Situ (CIS) of the glottis is an uncommon and poorly understood condition with few, large, long- term studies. Twelve cases are presented which were treated with radiotherapy. At three-year follow-up all the patients are disease free and in 83 per cent the mucosa has returned to normal. The alternative methods of treatment are discussed.
