Abstract
Objective
The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to analyze the impact of prophylactic neck dissection and adjuvant therapy in transoral surgery for hypopharyngeal cancer.
Methods
We compared the impact of surgical margin assessment, neck dissection, and adjuvant treatment on oncologic outcomes in patients who underwent transoral surgery for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma between 2015 and 2021.
Results
Two hundred and twenty-one patients were included. The 3-year local recurrence-free survival was 89.1 %, and local recurrence did not significantly impact overall survival. Positive vertical margins resulted in 60 % of patients receiving additional treatment, with no increase in local recurrence and a significant increase in regional recurrence (p = 0.007) and distant metastasis (p < 0.001). Half of the patients with regional recurrence after neck dissection also had distant metastases and worse survival (p = 0.069), while those with regional recurrence without prophylactic neck dissection did not have worse survival.
Conclusion
In cases of positive vertical margin, careful surveillance for regional recurrence and distant metastasis is also warranted. Prophylactic neck dissection may not be necessary.
期刊介绍:
The international journal Auris Nasus Larynx provides the opportunity for rapid, carefully reviewed publications concerning the fundamental and clinical aspects of otorhinolaryngology and related fields. This includes otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, allergology, head and neck medicine and oncologic surgery, maxillofacial and plastic surgery, audiology, speech science.
Original papers, short communications and original case reports can be submitted. Reviews on recent developments are invited regularly and Letters to the Editor commenting on papers or any aspect of Auris Nasus Larynx are welcomed.
Founded in 1973 and previously published by the Society for Promotion of International Otorhinolaryngology, the journal is now the official English-language journal of the Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. The aim of its new international Editorial Board is to make Auris Nasus Larynx an international forum for high quality research and clinical sciences.
