Impact of stage, management and recurrence on survival rates in laryngeal cancer

A retrospective, longitudinal study of 1,616 patients with primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) at a single center in Norway during 1983-2010 was undertaken to investigate overall survival, disease specific survival, disease-free survival, prognostic factors for overall survival, and impact of recurrence among all-stage laryngeal cancer patients over 15 years' follow-up. The prognos...

Deprivation, stage at diagnosis and cancer survival.

The association between an area-based measure of deprivation and survival from the 10 most common cancers was studied in 155,682 patients diagnosed between 1980 and 1989 in the area covered by the South Thames Regional Health Authority. Furthermore, the impact of stage of disease at diagnosis on this association was studied. The measure of deprivation was the Carstairs Index of the census enume...

Ovarian transposition for stage Ib squamous cell cervical cancer - lack of effects on survival rates?

BACKGROUND To investigate the impact of ovarian transposition (OT) on survival rates of the patients with stage Ib squamous cell cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-two subjects who underwent a radical hysterectomy including oophorectomy were evaluated. For nineteen (20.7%) , OT was performed. Patients were divided into two groups, OT versus oophorectomy alone. The primary end-point...
