Number of Patients With Local Failure Following SABR Treatment of Early Glottic Larynx Cancers Primary · 2 years

Local failure is defined as biopsy-proven tumor anywhere on the true vocal cords.

Number of Patients With Grade 3-5 Acute and Late Toxicities Following Treatment With SABR Secondary · 90 days, 3 years

Number of patients with grade 3-5 acute (start of treatment through 90 days from the completion of treatment) and late (after 90 days from the completion of treatment) adverse events, according to NCI's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0 toxicity criteria.

Health-related Quality of Life Following Treatment With SABR. Secondary · From baseline to 2 years post-treatment

Average patient visual analogue scale score (derived from EQ-5D) at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months from the end of treatment The Visual Analogue Score (VAS) of the EQ-5D is a visual scale from 0-100, with 100 being perfect health, where patients can mark their perceived health. Researchers can then take the average score across all patients for each timepoint.

Percentage of Participants With Locoregional Failure Following SABR With Death as a Competing Risk Secondary · 2 years

Specifically, the 2-year cumulative risk of biopsy-proven recurrence anywhere in the larynx or neck following SABR. Recurrence in this context includes biopsy-proven cancer anywhere in the supraglottic, glottic, or subglottic larynx, as well as any malignant lymph node in the cervical or supraclavicular lymph nodes.
