Read McNeil BJ, Weichselbaum R, Pauker SG (1981) Speech and survival: tradeoffs between quality and quantity of life in laryngeal cancer, N Engl J Med. Oct 22;305(17) : 982-7 [Direct Link]

and

Hamilton, D, Bins, J, McMeekin, P, Pedersen, A, Steen, N, De Soyza, A, Thomson, R, Paleri, V & Wilson, J 2015. ‘Quality compared to quantity of life in laryngeal cancer: A time trade-off study’, Head and Neck, Vol. 38, No. 1, pp. 631–637.

McNeil et al., paper marked a shift in the way T3 laryngeal cancers were treated. Less radical surgery was performed and more chemo/radiotherapy was used. Do you think McNeil’s findings justified this change at the time? WHY?
