To determine time of onset and risk of hypothyroidism after total laryngectomy (TL) with and without (hemi)thyroidectomy in relation to treatment regimen, that is, preoperative radiotherapy (RT-TL), postoperative radiotherapy (TL-RT), and postoperative re-irradiation (RT-TL-RT).
Retrospective review of 128 patients treated by RT-TL (51 patients), TL-RT (55 patients), and RT-TL-RT (22 patients). Risk of hypothyroidism was determined by multivariable Cox regression analysis and euthyroid survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.
Hypothyroidism developed in 69 (54%) patients. The median onset of hypothyroidism was later (P < .01) and the risk of hypothyroidism was lower (hazard ratio 0.49; P = .014) in the TL-RT group compared to both other treatment regimens. Euthyroid survival did not differ between the treatment regimens. Two years euthyroid survival was 24% with and 61% without (hemi)thyroidectomy (P < .001).
Patients treated with TL-RT have later onset of hypothyroidism. Higher risk for hypothyroidism is associated with salvage TL after radiotherapy and (hemi)thyroidectomy.
为了确定全喉切除术(TL)伴或不伴(半)甲状腺切除术与治疗方案(术前放疗[RT-TL]、术后放疗[TL-RT]和术后再放疗[RT-TL-RT])相关的甲状腺功能减退症发病时间和风险。
回顾性分析了 128 例接受 RT-TL(51 例)、TL-RT(55 例)和 RT-TL-RT(22 例)治疗的患者。采用多变量 Cox 回归分析确定甲状腺功能减退症的风险,并采用 Kaplan-Meier 法计算甲状腺功能正常的生存情况。
69 例(54%)患者发生甲状腺功能减退症。与其他两种治疗方案相比,TL-RT 组甲状腺功能减退症的发病时间较晚(P<0.01),且甲状腺功能减退症的风险较低(风险比 0.49;P=0.014)。治疗方案之间的甲状腺功能正常生存情况无差异。2 年甲状腺功能正常生存率为 24%和 61%(有或无(半)甲状腺切除术)(P<0.001)。
接受 TL-RT 治疗的患者甲状腺功能减退症的发病时间较晚。甲状腺功能减退症的风险更高与放疗后挽救性 TL 和(半)甲状腺切除术相关。
