Transoral laser microsurgery for untreated glottic carcinoma.
Аннотация
OBJECTIVES
To report the oncology and functional outcomes of transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for untreated glottic carcinoma.
STUDY
DESIGN
A 2 center prospective case series analysis.
SETTING
Academic, tertiary referral centers.
RESULTS
Seventy-six patients underwent TLM. Pathologic T stages were: T1, 45 (59%); T2, 21 (28%); T3, 5 (7%); and T4, 5 (7%). Five (7%) patients had neck dissections. Five (7%) patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. Mean follow-up was 42 months. Respective T1 and T2 5-year Kaplan-Meier estimates were: local control, 90% and 93%; loco-regional control, 90% and 93%; disease specific survival, 90% and 93%; and overall survival, 94% and 93%. The average hospital stay was 2 days. Two (3%) patients experienced major complications. The overall laryngeal preservation rate was 95% (72 of 76).
CONCLUSIONS
TLM is a safe and effective treatment in select carcinoma of the glottic larynx. Low morbidity and mortality and short periods of hospitalization make TLM an attractive therapeutic option.
SIGNIFICANCE: TLM is an emerging strategy in the treatment of laryngeal cancer.
