Persistent Tracheostomy after Organ Preservation Protocol in Patients Treated for Larynx and Hypopharynx Cancer
Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is currently the second most common malignancy of the airway after lung cancer, and hypopharyngeal cancer accounts for fewer than 5% of head and neck cancers. The nonsurgical options for patients with this disease are related to significant long-term toxicities and the need for persistent tracheostomy, which adversely affects the quality of li...
متن کاملTreatment of Advanced Carcinoma of the Larynx and Hypopharynx with Laser Followed by External Radiotherapy
Introduction: Radical laryngeal surgeries for extensive laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tumors often require a permanent tracheostomy, which has an immense impact on the quality of life of patients. A minimally invasive technique such as transoral laser microresection (TLM) followed by radiotherapy can preserve the functions of the voice and swallowing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ro...
متن کاملPredictors and outcomes for chronic tracheostomy after chemoradiation for advanced laryngohypopharyngeal cancer.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS After concurrent chemoradiation for head and neck squamous cell cancer, patients with laryngeal incompetence may not recover function. We assessed variables predicting tracheostomy dependence as a measure of poor laryngeal function after chemoradiation. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective METHODS Analysis of 109 patients treated with chemoradiation for locoregionally advanced l...
متن کاملPersistent tracheostomy after primary chemoradiation for advanced laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND Despite the demonstrated survival equivalence between chemoradiation and ablative surgery as primary treatment for advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers, a subset of patients who undergo organ-preservation therapy have persistent tracheostomy requirement after completion of treatment. METHODS Patients who received primary chemoradiation for advanced laryngeal or hypopharyng...
