The purpose of this study was to evaluate oncologic outcomes of transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in patients with cancer of the oropharyngeal and/or hypopharyngeal posterior wall.
Between August 1986 and December 2006, 25 patients (oropharyngeal n = 12; hypopharyngeal n = 13) were treated by primary CO2 laser microsurgery. Treatment was exclusively TLM with or without selective neck dissection in 12 cases (48%); TLM with adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy was performed in 13 cases (52%).
Data were analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median follow-up was 41.6 months. The 5-year overall, recurrence-free, and disease-specific survival rates for stages I/II were 36,5%, 60,0%, and 87,5% and for stages III/IVa 41,2%, 36,4%, and 56,3%, respectively.
With respect to local control and survival, results are comparable to conventional surgery.
本研究旨在评估经口激光显微手术(TLM)治疗口咽和/或下咽后壁癌患者的肿瘤学结局。
1986年8月至2006年12月期间,25例患者(口咽癌12例;下咽癌13例)接受了原发性二氧化碳激光显微手术治疗。12例患者(48%)仅接受了TLM手术,其中部分患者接受了选择性颈清扫术;13例患者(52%)接受了TLM联合辅助(化疗)放疗。
采用Kaplan-Meier方法对数据进行分析。中位随访时间为41.6个月。I/II期患者的5年总生存率、无复发生存率和疾病特异性生存率分别为36.5%、60.0%和87.5%,III/IVa期患者分别为41.2%、36.4%和56.3%。
在局部控制和生存率方面,结果与传统手术相当。
