Objective: To evaluate the long-term functional outcomes in patients who received primary radiotherapy for tumour–node stage T 2 N 0 glottic carcinoma, stratified for tumour extension. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on patients who were treated with radiotherapy for T 2 N 0 glottic carcinoma. Four questionnaires were used to measure different aspects of functional outcome. In addition, objective evaluation and perceptual analysis were performed. Results: Fourteen patients were included in this study. The median time between the start of radiotherapy and assessment was 42 months (range, 26–143 months). Patients reported high-level functioning, with low symptom scores and good swallowing function, and showed a median dysphonia grade of 1.5. The median Voice Handicap Index-30 score was 17.5. Conclusion: Patients with T 2 N 0 glottic carcinoma treated with radiotherapy had good long-term quality of life, with low symptom scores, good swallowing functioning and slightly elevated voice outcome parameters.
