The tumor-free surgical margin was important to survival. When T4 lesions did not involve the pyramidal apex, carotid canal, dura, or any lymph nodes, the surgical intervention improved the estimated survival rate to a level as good as T3 lesions.
Salvage pharyngolaryngectomy and jejunal transfer can be performed safely and reliably for patients with locally recurrent hypopharyngeal carcinoma, and it is an excellent option after a failure of definitive chemoradiotherapy.
Because a high rate of laryngeal preservation was achieved without compromising disease-specific survival, our treatment approach based on FAR therapy may be promising for the treatment of patients with T2N0 glottic carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
