In this study we report our preliminary experience with the use of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the management of minor salivary gland malignancies of the oropharynx and outcomes.
This was a retrospective review of 10 patients followed over a 5-year period at a single tertiary academic medical center. Patient, tumor, clinicopathologic, functional, and oncologic outcomes were collected and analyzed.
All cancers treated were either T1 (40%) or T2 (60%). Negative margins were achieved in all patients. Four patients received adjuvant radiation therapy (40%). No patients experienced surgical complications and all had excellent functional outcomes. Mean follow-up was 24 months (range, 2-60 months) with locoregional and distant control achieved in 8 patients (80%) and 9 patients (90%), respectively.
Minor salivary malignancies of the oropharynx are a surgical disease. Short-term follow-up data demonstrate feasibility, low morbidity, good functional, and oncologic results for TORS management of these malignancies.
本研究报告了我们使用经口机器人手术(TORS)治疗口咽部小唾液腺癌的初步经验和结果。
这是一项回顾性研究,对单中心 10 例患者进行了为期 5 年的随访。收集并分析了患者、肿瘤、临床病理、功能和肿瘤学结果。
所有治疗的癌症均为 T1(40%)或 T2(60%)。所有患者均获得阴性切缘。4 例患者接受了辅助放疗(40%)。无手术并发症,所有患者的功能均恢复良好。中位随访时间为 24 个月(范围 2-60 个月),8 例患者(80%)和 9 例患者(90%)达到局部区域和远处控制。
口咽部小唾液腺癌是一种以手术为主的疾病。短期随访数据显示,TORS 治疗这些肿瘤具有可行性、低发病率、良好的功能和肿瘤学结果。
