To determine the effect of tobacco cessation following laryngeal cancer diagnosis on response to first-line therapy, laryngectomy-free survival, and overall survival in patients who were current smokers at the time of diagnosis.
Retrospective, case-control study.
OU Stephenson Cancer Center, National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center.
We included 140 patients diagnosed with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, who were current smokers at the time of diagnosis, and were treated with first-line definitive radiation or chemo/radiation with the intent to cure. The association between patient characteristics and treatment response was assessed using the χ test and logistic regression analysis. Survival outcomes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional-hazards models.
Of the 140 current smokers, 61 patients (45%) quit smoking prior to treatment initiation. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, quitters had 3.7 times higher odds of achieving a complete response to first-line therapy than active smokers (odds ratio: 3.694 [1.575-8.661]; P = .003). In the adjusted Cox proportional-hazards model, quitters were 54% less likely to require salvage laryngectomy within 7 years of diagnosis than active smokers (hazard ratio: 0.456 [0.246-0.848]; P = .013). Quitters had a statistically significant increase in 7-year overall survival compared to active smokers (P = .02).
This is the first study to show that in newly diagnosed laryngeal cancer patients who are current smokers at the time of diagnosis, tobacco cessation significantly increases therapy response, laryngectomy-free survival, and overall survival. These data stress the importance of systematically incorporating tobacco cessation programs into laryngeal cancer treatment plans.
确定诊断为喉癌后戒烟对初治反应、无喉切除术生存和总生存的影响,这些患者在诊断时为当前吸烟者。
回顾性病例对照研究。
俄克拉荷马大学斯蒂芬森癌症中心,美国国立癌症研究所指定癌症中心。
我们纳入了 140 名诊断为喉鳞状细胞癌的患者,这些患者在诊断时为当前吸烟者,并接受了一线根治性放疗或化疗/放疗,旨在治愈。使用 χ 检验和逻辑回归分析评估患者特征与治疗反应之间的关系。使用 Kaplan-Meier 方法和 Cox 比例风险模型分析生存结果。
在 140 名当前吸烟者中,有 61 名(45%)在开始治疗前戒烟。在调整后的逻辑回归分析中,与吸烟者相比,戒烟者对一线治疗有完全反应的可能性高 3.7 倍(优势比:3.694[1.575-8.661];P=0.003)。在调整后的 Cox 比例风险模型中,与吸烟者相比,戒烟者在诊断后 7 年内需要挽救性喉切除术的可能性低 54%(风险比:0.456[0.246-0.848];P=0.013)。与吸烟者相比,戒烟者的 7 年总生存率有统计学意义的提高(P=0.02)。
这是第一项研究表明,在诊断为喉癌的当前吸烟者中,戒烟可显著提高治疗反应、无喉切除术生存和总生存。这些数据强调了将戒烟计划系统地纳入喉癌治疗计划的重要性。
