OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of various treatment parameters on local control as well as complications in T1 and T2 glottic carcinomas. METHODS Between 1975 and 1989, 676 patients with early glottic carcinoma (460 T1 and 216 T2) received curative radiation with three different treatment regimens, as follows: Regimen 1-50 Gy/15 Fr/3 weeks (3.33 Gy/daily) for 192 patients; Regimen 2-60-62.5 Gy/24-25 Fr/5 weeks (2.5 Gy/daily) for 352 patients; and Regimen 3-55-60 Gy/25-30 Fr/5-6 weeks (2-2.25 Gy/daily) for 132 patients. RESULTS The local control at 10 years was 82% and 57% for T1 and T2 lesions respectively (p = 0.0). For the T1N0M0 group, field size had significant impact on local control with both univariate (p = 0.05) and multivariate (p = 0.03) analysis. For T2N0M0, group field size (p = 0.03) as well as registration year (p = 0.016) were significant in univariate analysis whereas only field size remained significant on multivariate analysis. Persistent radiation edema was noted in 146 (22%) patients and was significantly worse with larger field size (p = 0.000) but not related to different treatment regimens. CONCLUSIONS The shorter fractionation schedule had comparable local control, without increased complications in comparison to the protracted schedule and is best suited for a busy department.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
