Abstract

The prognosis of stage IV glottic cancer is poor. This study was to explore the impacts of different treatment modalities, cervical lymph node status and surgical margin on the prognosis of stage IV glottic cancer. Clinical data of 88 patients with stage IV glottic cancer were reviewed. The correlations of different treatment modalities, cervical lymph node status, and surgical margin to the prognosis of stage IV glottic cancer were analyzed. The overall 3-and 5-year survival rates of the 88 patients were 71.6% and 63.0%. There was no significant difference in survival rate among the patients received operation, operation plus postoperative radiotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, and operation plus chemotherapy (P=0.729). The overall survival rate was significant lower in patients with lymph node metastasis than in those without lymph node metastasis (P=0.015); for stage cN0 patients, there was no significant difference between the patients with and without occult lymph node metastasis (P=0.474). There was no significant difference between the patients with positive surgical margin and those with negative surgical margin (P=0.016). N stage is the important prognostic factor for stage IV glottic cancer. The prognosis of patients with l...Continue Reading
