Objective: This study reports the results of treatment for supraglottic laryngeal cancer with nine different treatment modalities with long-term follow-up.
Study Design: Retrospective study of 653 patients with supraglottic laryngeal squamous cell cancer treated from April 1955 to January 1999.
Methods: The study population included previously untreated patients with cancer of the supraglottic larynx treated with curative intent by one of nine treatment modalities and who were eligible for 5-year follow-up.
Objectives/hypothesis: The best therapeutic approach for the treatment of stage IV glottic carcinoma is controversial.
Study Design: A retrospective study.
Methods: A retrospective study of Tumor Research Project data was performed using patients with stage IV glottic squamous cell carcinoma treated with curative intent by five different treatment modalities from 1955 to 1998 at Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital (St.
Carcinoma of paranasal sinuses: long-term outcomes with radiotherapy.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys
May 2004
Purpose: To assess the clinical features, prognostic factors, results, and complications of treatment of carcinomas of the paranasal sinus.
Methods And Materials: The records of 106 patients (72 men and 34 women) with paranasal sinus carcinoma treated with curative intent at Washington University between January 1960 and August 1998 were analyzed. Patient age ranged from 29 to 91 years (median, 64 years).
Purpose: To assess the therapeutic outcomes in oropharyngeal cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and analyze the impact of primary gross tumor volume (GTV) and nodal GTV (nGTV) on survival and locoregional control rates.
Methods And Materials: Between February 1997 and September 2001, 74 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx were treated with IMRT. Thirty-one patients received definitive IMRT; 17 also received platinum-based chemotherapy.
Objective: The study reported the results of treatment for base of tongue cancer with five different treatment modalities with long-term follow-up.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study of 262 patients with base of tongue cancer treated in the Departments of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Radiation Therapy at Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis, MO) from July 1955 to January 1998.
Background: The best therapeutic approach for the treatment of T3N0M0 (stage III) glottic carcinoma is controversial.
Method: A retrospective study of Tumor Research Project data were performed using patients with T3N0M0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma treated with curative intent by seven different treatment modalities from January 1950 to December 1996 at Washington University School of Medicine/Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
Results: Two hundred patients with T3N0M0 glottic carcinoma were treated using seven modalities: total laryngectomy (TL, n = 30), TL with neck dissection (TL/ND, n = 40), conservation surgery alone (CS, n = 22), radiation therapy alone (RT, n = 29), TL combined with RT (TL/RT, n = 31), TL and ND combined with RT (TL/ND/RT, n = 36), and CS combined with RT (CS/RT, n = 12).
Objective: The study reports the results of treatment of oral tongue cancer with five different treatment modalities with long-term follow-up.
Study Design: Retrospective study of 332 patients with oral tongue cancer treated in the Departments of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Radiation Therapy at Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis, MO) from 1957 to 1996.
