Background: To assess functional results, complications, and success of larynx preservation in patients with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy.
Methods: From a database of 40 patients who underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) from June 2001 to April 2006, eight patients were treated previously with radiotherapy due to squamous cell carcinoma of the glottic region and were treated for recurrence at the site of the primary cancer.
Results: SCPL with CHEP was performed in six men and two women with a mean age of 67 years due to recurrence and/or persistence at a mean time of 30 months postradiotherapy (in case #8 after concomitant chemoradiotherapy). Bilateral neck dissection at levels II-V was performed in six patients. Only case #8 presented metastasis in one node. In case #5, Delphian node was positive. It was possible to preserve both arytenoids in five cases. Definitive surgical margins were negative. Complications were encountered in seven patients. Follow-up was on average 44 months (range: 20-67 months). Organ preservation in this series was 75%, and local control was 87%. Overall 5-year survival was 50%.
Conclusions: In selected patient with persistence and/or recurrence after radiotherapy due to cancer of the larynx, SCPL with CHEP seems to be feasible with acceptable local control and toxicity. Complications may occur as in previously non-irradiated patients. These complications must be treated conservatively to avoid altering laryngeal function.

Supracricoid Partial Laryngectomy Versus Radiation Therapy for cT3N0M0 Glottic SCC: Outcomes in Candidates for Total Laryngectomy Responding Well to Induction Chemotherapy.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol

Service d'Oncologie-Radiothérapie, Université Paris Cité, Paris, France.
Objective: To evaluate whether supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) may be a viable alternative to radiation therapy (RT) for patients with glottic cT3N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who are surgical candidates for total laryngectomy (TL) and respond well to platinum-based induction chemotherapy.
Methods: Retrospective case series review of 18 consecutive patients with cT3N0M0 glottic SCC, initially considered surgical candidates only for TL who showed a good response to platinum-based induction chemotherapy, managed at a French university teaching institution with either SCPL (n = 9) or RT (n = 9). The main endpoints were 10-year local control and laryngeal preservation.

Objectives: To evaluate vocal, swallowing and respiratory rehabilitation of patients undergoing supracricoid laryngectomy; evaluate the impact of voice changes and global quality of life.
Methods: It is a prospective cohort study where voice, swallowing and respiratory rehabilitation where evaluated. Quality of life was assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and H&N35 questionnaires.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to document 10-year outcomes after supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) in selected cT3M0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients.
Methods: This real-life retrospective observational study analyzed an inception cohort of 168 patients with isolated, untreated, selected cT3M0 laryngeal SCC, that were consecutively managed by SCPL during the period 1973-2013, and followed up until death or for a minimum of 10 years in 92% of cases at a single French academic and tertiary referral care center. Prior induction chemotherapy, arytenoid cartilage removal, level II-IV neck dissection, and postoperative radiation therapy were performed on 148, 77, 136, and 27 patients, respectively.
Dysphagia After Partial Horizontal Supracricoid Laryngectomy: A Close Look.

Partial horizontal supracricoid laryngectomy (SCPL) with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) is a conservative surgical alternative for laryngeal cancer in the glottic or supraglottic region. Dysphagia and aspiration are frequently reported consequences of this surgery. We describe the case of a 72-year-old male patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx (T2N0M0), who underwent SCPL with CHEP reconstruction.

To investigate the pathological characteristics of tumor regression and the expression level of chemoradiotherapy resistance-related molecular markers after preoperative concurrent radiochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma. The clinical data of 44 patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma who underwent preoperative concurrent radiochemotherapy in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery of Shandong Otolaryngology Hospital from August 2016 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received preoperative concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
