Laryngeal cancer survival in Zaragoza (Spain): a population-based study

Abstract

The data suggest there were no significant changes in laryngeal cancer survival in the province of Zaragoza in the period 1978-2002 and that the tumours located in the glottis presented a better prognosis.

Secular Trends in the Survival of Patients with Laryngeal Carcinoma, 1995–2007

“…Our results demonstrating no change in overall survival are in keeping with population-based studies from Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United States (using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database) in patients with a new diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma (Table viii) [35][36][37][38][39] . Using the U.S. National Cancer Database, both Hoffman et al 17 and Chen et al 15 found a decline in the survival of patients newly diagnosed with laryngeal cancer during the periods 1985-1996 and 1985-2007 respectively.…”

Assessment of laryngeal cancer in patients younger than 40 years

“…In a population-based study in Zaragoza, Spain, a better survival rate was reported in patients with laryngeal SCC who were younger than 40 years compared to older patients. 10 Among patients with late-stage disease in our cohort, all were treated according to the same protocol as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. Nevertheless, younger patients had a higher recurrence rate, and all recurred within 2 years.…”

Contribution of TIP30 to chemoresistance in laryngeal carcinoma

“…Despite the LSCC treatment strategies that have been developed in the past two decades, 32 , 33 , 34 satisfactory therapeutic outcomes and survival rates of patients with LSCC have not improved significantly. 35 Drug resistance and recurrence of malignancy are responsible for the uncertain therapeutic effects.…”
