    Top Line: A recent case report caused quite the kerfuffle over the theoretical advantages and disadvantages of today’s popular carotid-sparing intensity modulated radiation (IMRT) for early-stage laryngeal cancer.The Study: This meta-analysis is here to bring robust data to the conversation. It included a total of 14 retrospective and one prospective study of definitive radiation for early-stage…
