ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyse the oncologic results of open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL) and to assess the prognostic factors that could affect the survival of patients affected by T2, T3 and T4a laryngeal cancer. Using this data, we aim to identify clinical criteria to select patients amenable to conservative surgery, and to facilitate a more targeted approach in the management of advanced laryngeal cancer.
METHODS: A retrospective study was performed in patients who underwent OPHL type II for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma from January 2005 to December 2018. We analysed a total of 170 patients; 21(12.36%) cases were staged as pT2, 116 (68.23%) as pT3 and 33 (19.41%) as pT4a.
RESULTS: Five-year overall survival (OS) was 80.9%, 79.3%, 70.4% for T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Disease-specific survival (DSS) was 90.4%, 85.3% and 77.4%. Posterior tumour extension, perineural invasion and N status showed to considerably influence survival in both uni- and multivariate analyses.
CONCLUSION: The oncological outcomes from our study show that OPHL for advanced laryngeal cancer can guarantee a high percentage of success. Accurate patient selection is of utmost importance to differentiate advanced disease amenable to conservative surgery, and treatment options should consider selected criteria based on tumour and patient features.
