Article Synopsis
  • Laryngeal chondrosarcoma (LC) is a rare cancer that grows slowly, with laryngeal preservation surgery (LPS) being the main treatment; however, some patients may need multiple surgeries or total laryngectomy (TL).
  • The study analyzed data from 21 patients to identify risk factors for recurrence and the need for TL, finding that those with higher-grade tumors (G2) experienced more surgery for recurrences compared to lower-grade tumors (G1).
  • Results showed that patients with G2 tumors face significant challenges, including higher recurrence rates and a greater likelihood of requiring TL, while factors like tumor localization and margin status influence outcomes without guaranteeing future surgery needs.
