Purpose Early-stage glottic cancer can be treated with radiotherapy only. Modern radiotherapy solutions allow for individualized dose distributions, hypofractionation and sparing of organs at risk. The target volume used to be the entire voice box. This series describe the oncological outcome and toxicity of individualized vocal cord-only hypofractionated radiotherapy for early stage (cT1a-T2 N0). Methods Retrospective cohort study with patients treated in a single center between 2014 and 2020. Results A total of 93 patients were included. Local control rate was 100% for cT1a, 97% for cT1b and 77% for cT2. Risk factor for local recurrence was smoking during radiotherapy. Laryngectomy-free survival was 90% at 5 years. Grade III or higher late toxicity was 3.7%. Conclusion Vocal cord-only hypofractionated radiotherapy appears to be oncologically safe in early-stage glottic cancer. Modern, image-guided radiotherapy led to comparable results as historical series with very limited late toxicity.
