RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the fundamental clinical characteristics and survival prognostic factors of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients treated with open laryngeal function-preserving operations. Method: The collected clinical data and the follow-up survival information from 760 patients with LSCC undergoing open laryngeal function-preserving operations between January 2005 and December 2010 in Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier was applied to calculate survival rates. Log-rank test and Cox regression model were performed to evaluate the survival prognostic factors for univariate and multivariate analysis. Result: Among the enrolled 760 cases, 697 patients were glottic cancer, followed by 59 cases in supraglottis and 4 cases in subglottis. The number of laryngeal cancer patients staged in T1 to T4 was 222, 420, 112 and 6, respectively. 27 patients had positive cervical lymph nodes. There were 220, 408, 111 and 21 patients with clinical stage â to â £, respectively. The 5-year overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) and disease specific survival (DSS) rates were 89.3%, 83.9% and 89.8%, respectively. Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that clinical stage and second primary tumor were independent influencing factors for the OS rate, while, age, primary site, pathological differentiation, T stage, clinical stage and surgical margin were independent risk factors for tumor recurrence and progression (P<0.05). Conclusion: Open laryngeal function-preserving operation is a crucial therapeutic strategy applicable to LSCC patients in early and selected advanced stage in China. Early diagnosis and therapy, and sufficient safety surgical margin are keys for improving the survival rate and reducing the risk of relapse for laryngeal cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: Open laryngeal function-preserving surgery is a common therapeutic strategy for Chinese laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients. OBJECTIVES: To explore the fundamental clinical characteristics and survival prognostic factors of LSCC patients treated with open laryngeal function-preserving operations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: about a total of 659 LSCC patients undergoing open laryngeal function-preserving operations were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test and Cox regression model were performed in survival analyses. RESULTS: About 612 patients were glottic cancer, followed by 44 cases in supraglottis and 3 cases in subglottis. The number of patients in stage T1, T2, T3 and T4 was 190, 365, 100 and 4, respectively. Nineteen patients had positive cervical lymph nodes. The 5-year overall survival, disease-free survival and disease-specific survival rates were 90.1, 84.9 and 90.7%, respectively. T stage and second primary tumour were independent factors predicting overall survival, while T stage and pathological differentiation were independent risk factors for tumour recurrence and progression. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: Open laryngeal function-preserving surgery is a crucial therapeutic strategy for Chinese patients with early and, in some cases, advanced-stage LSCC. Early diagnosis and therapy and sufficient and safe surgical margins are key to improving the survival rate and reducing the risk of relapse in LSCC patients.
