we need to see the CT Scan reports..if it's stage I or II , Laser surgery is good enough with clean margins as long term results in voice are no different in Laser or radiation..but if it's stage III , then it depends on multiple factor to go for RT or surgery....for stage IV, most of the cases will need open surgery with adjuvant radiation or chemoradiation
Next Steps
Send the CT Scan report

If you father has a good voice right now, radiation would help more than surgery. From your information, it looks like early glottic cancer. Though I would like to view all reports before suggesting radiation, I might suggest you meet a radiation oncologist in your city
