The majority of reports on laryngeal carcinoma are from institutions serving a mostly white population. This report is about laryngeal carcinoma in black patients at Harlem Hospital Center. In a retrospective analysis, 113 patients (male-female, 3.5:1) with carcinoma of the larynx were examined. Sixty-seven patients (59%) were between 50 and 60 years of age. There were two patients (2%) with carcinoma in situ, 15 (13%) in Stage I, 40 (35%) in Stage II, 39 (35%) in Stage III, and 15 (13%) in Stage IV. Of the 113 patients, 70 (62%) were treated surgically, Group I; 24 (21%) received radiotherapy only, Group 2; and 19 (17%) refused treatment or died before therapy initiation. For patients in Group 1, the 1-year survival rate was 68% (43 of 63), the 3-year survival rate was 38% (20 of 53), and the 5-year survival rate was 15% (7 of 47). For Group 2, the survival rate was 48% (11 of 23), 30% (7 of 23), and 14% (3 of 22), respectively. In this patient population, laryngeal carcinoma occurred at a younger age than other reported groups, had a higher incidence in females, and had a lower 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate.
大多数关于喉癌的报告来自主要服务于白人人口的机构。本报告是关于哈莱姆医院中心黑人患者的喉癌情况。在一项回顾性分析中,对113例喉癌患者(男女比例为3.5:1)进行了检查。67例患者(59%)年龄在50至60岁之间。有2例原位癌患者(2%),15例(13%)处于I期,40例(35%)处于II期,39例(35%)处于III期,15例(13%)处于IV期。在这113例患者中,70例(62%)接受了手术治疗,为第1组;24例(21%)仅接受了放疗,为第2组;19例(17%)拒绝治疗或在开始治疗前死亡。对于第1组患者,1年生存率为68%(63例中的43例),3年生存率为38%(53例中的20例),5年生存率为15%(47例中的7例)。对于第2组,生存率分别为48%(23例中的11例)、30%(23例中的7例)和14%(22例中的3例)。在这一患者群体中,喉癌发病年龄比其他报告的群体更年轻,女性发病率更高,1年、3年和5年生存率更低。
