Oncological and functional outcomes of transoral laser surgery for laryngeal carcinoma

Oncological and functional outcomes of transoral laser surgery for laryngeal carcinoma Introduction Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) has become the standard approach for treatment of early-stage laryngeal carcinoma in most institutions due to their good oncological and functional results with few local complications. The pur- pose of this study was to analyze the oncological and functional results of TLM in the treatment of laryngeal tumors at our Hospital. Materials and methods Patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) treated from 1998 to 2013 with TLM with curative intention, and with a minimum follow-up of 24 months, were reviewed. Results 203 patients with LSCC were included. 195 patients were men (96%) and 8 women (4%), with a mean age of 63 years. The series includes 134 (66%) T1, 40 (20%) T2, and 29 (14%) T3-classified tumors. 116 tumors (57%) were in the glottis, 79 (39%) in the supraglottis and 8 (4%) in the anterior commissure. 16 patients (8%) received adjuvant radiotherapy. Initial local control was obtained in 75.5% of patients. The 5-year overall survival rate was 84% and the 5-year disease-specific survival was 90%. The presence of nodal metastasis (p < 0.001) and the involvement of the surgical margins (p = 0.004) were associated with a lower disease-specific survival in the multivariate analysis. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Springer Journals

The pur- pose of this study was to analyze the oncological and functional results of TLM in the treatment of laryngeal tumors at our Hospital. Materials and methods Patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) treated from 1998 to 2013 with TLM with curative intention, and with a minimum follow-up of 24 months, were reviewed. Results 203 patients with LSCC were included. 195 patients were men (96%) and 8 women (4%), with a mean age of 63 years. The series includes 134 (66%) T1, 40 (20%) T2, and 29 (14%) T3-classified tumors. 116 tumors (57%) were in the glottis, 79 (39%) in the supraglottis and 8 (4%) in the anterior commissure. 16 patients (8%) received adjuvant radiotherapy.
