A study was designed to assess clinical and pathologic variables with prognostic value in carcinoma of the tonsil. Seventy-nine cases, diagnosed and treated at the University Hospital of Montevideo, Uruguay, during a 20-year period (1960 through 1979) were studied. Survival of patients according to sex, age, performance status, tumor size (T), nodal status (N), clinical stage, tongue involvement, histologic type, grade of differentiation, and local control with treatment was analyzed with the life-table method and the statistical significance was estimated with the logrank test. Regression methods showed that the combination of T and N factors explained 25% of the prognosis. When local control was included in the equation, the predictive power increased to 52%. Local spread to the base of the tongue and female sex were of marginal significance regarding prognosis.
一项研究旨在评估扁桃体癌中具有预后价值的临床和病理变量。对乌拉圭蒙得维的亚大学医院在20年期间（1960年至1979年）诊断和治疗的79例病例进行了研究。采用寿命表法分析了患者按性别、年龄、体能状态、肿瘤大小（T）、淋巴结状态（N）、临床分期、舌部受累情况、组织学类型、分化程度以及治疗后的局部控制情况的生存率，并通过对数秩检验估计统计学意义。回归方法显示，T和N因素的组合可解释25%的预后情况。当将局部控制纳入方程时，预测能力提高到52%。舌根部的局部扩散和女性性别对预后具有边缘性意义。
