The aim of the present study was to evaluate the sex-disparities in larynx cancer patients treated with COTransoral Laser Microsurgery (CO-TOLMS).
Retrospective analysis of 1290 consecutive patients. Oncologic and functional outcomes were evaluated according to sex groups. Survival rates were compared by propensity-score matching approach and multivariable Cox regression analysis.
Among 1290 patients, 122 (9.5%) were females. No significant differences were observed in tumor exposure, margins or pathology characteristics. Women experienced fewer complications than men (0.12 vs. 0.06; p = 0.007). There were neither significant differences in voice or swallowing outcomes, nor in the need for tracheostomy or gastrostomy. 5-y disease-free (63% vs. 66%, p = 0.92), 5-y disease-specific (91% vs. 93%, p = 0.54) and 5-y overall survival (78% vs. 84%, p = 0.18) rates were not different between men and woman.
CO-TOLMS is a valid treatment for larynx cancer in women, with equivalent outcomes than those achieved in the male population.
本研究旨在评估接受二氧化碳经口激光显微手术(CO-TOLMS)治疗的喉癌患者的性别差异。
对1290例连续患者进行回顾性分析。根据性别分组评估肿瘤学和功能结局。采用倾向评分匹配法和多变量Cox回归分析比较生存率。
在1290例患者中,122例(9.5%)为女性。在肿瘤暴露、切缘或病理特征方面未观察到显著差异。女性的并发症比男性少(0.12对0.06;p = 0.007)。在声音或吞咽结局、气管切开术或胃造口术需求方面均无显著差异。男性和女性的5年无病生存率(63%对66%,p = 0.92)、5年疾病特异性生存率(91%对93%,p = 0.54)和5年总生存率(78%对84%,p = 0.18)无差异。
CO-TOLMS是女性喉癌的一种有效治疗方法,其结局与男性人群相当。
