Analysis of recurrence after surgical treatment of advanced laryngeal carcinoma

  • Anthony Po Wing Yuen (a1), Chiu Ming Ho (a1), William Ignace Wei (a1) and Lai Kun Lam (a1)
Abstract

The pattern of recurrences after surgical treatment of 276 patients with stage T3 and T4 laryngeal carcinoma was reviewed. Nodal recurrence was the commonest site and occurred mainly in patients with supraglottic and transglottic carcinoma. Distant metastasis was the second commonest site of recurrence, and the most distant metastases developed without locoregional recurrence. Local recurrence alone was uncommon in patients treated with primary surgery.
