Abstract:
Objective To compare the treatment outcome of underwent surgery plus radiotherapy and radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus salvage surgery for stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ laryngeal carcinoma,to investigate an optimized treatment for the patients of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ laryngeal carcinoma.Methods Clinical data from 103 patients with stage Ⅲ (39 cases) or stage Ⅳ (64 cases) laryngeal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into surgery plus radiotherapy group (S±R,46 cases) and radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus salvage surgery group (R±S,57 cases).Overall survival,relapse free survival,and laryngeal preservation rate were used to compare the treatment outcome between two groups.Multivariate regression models were used to analyze the independent factors for survival and laryngeal preservation rate.Results Survival rate was higher in S±R group than in R±S group [2 year overall survival/relapse free survival 74.7 % (34/46) / 72.4 % (33/46) vs 46.4 % (26/57) / 40.9 % (23/57),P < 0.05].Laryngeal preservation rate was higher in R±S group than in S±R group [93.0 % (15/46) vs 32.6 % (53/57),P < 0.05].Multivariate analysis demonstrated that treatment modality and T stage were independent factors for long-term survival,while treatment modality was the only an independent factor for laryngeal preservation rate.Conclusions Surgery plus radiotherapy result in better survival and lower laryngeal preservation rate than radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus salvage surgery in treatment of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ laryngeal carcinoma.Surgery plus radiotherapy should be the first choice for treatment of locally advanced laryngeal carcinoma.Improvement of the quality of life could be achieved by laryngeal preservation surgery and phonation reconstruction procedures.
