The impact of operability status on outcomes in patients with T4 larynx cancer undergoing larynx preservation

Abstract

Background

Large analyses of T4 larynx cancer (LC) have raised concerns that larynx preservation (LP) contributes to reduced survival compared with laryngectomy (LGX). The role of operability has not been previously considered as a confounder.

Methods

We queried the National Cancer Database for T4M0 LC diagnosed 2004–2015. Patients were categorized as undergoing LGX, chemoradiotherapy but operable (LP-operable), and chemoradiotherapy inoperable (LP-inoperable). Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan–Meier. Cox multivariate analysis (MVA) identified variables associated with OS.

Results

We identified 1405 LGX, 164 LP-operable and 1969 LP-inoperable patients. Compared with LGX, MVA demonstrated worse OS among LP-inoperable (HR 1.28 95%CI 1.17–1.40, p < 0.01) but not LP-operable patients (HR 1.12 95%CI 0.91–1.39, p = 0.28).

Conclusions

LP-operable patients did not have significantly worse OS than those undergoing LGX.
