Objectives: Several studies have evaluated the prognostic significance of Perineural Invasion (IPN) in laryngeal cancer; however, the results are non-conclusive. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis aiming to identify the prognostic value of IPN in laryngeal cancer.

Methods: A literature review was performed, searching MedLine via PubMed, Scielo, Lilacs, Cochrane and Websco. RevMan 5.4 was used for the statistical analysis.

Results: A total of 19 laryngeal cancer studies were included. The results indicate that IPN in laryngeal cancer shows 2-year survival with RR 0.71 (0.59‒0.86); disease-free survival RR 0.51 (0.14-1.95); and locoregional recurrence RR 1.71 (1.25-2.35).

Conclusion: IPN is a negative prognostic factor in laryngeal cancer.

 Supracricoid partial laryngectomy is a surgical treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer which is implemented to preserve organ function, but it may cause obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) due to anatomical changes after surgery that may be neglected by clinicians. Although the gold standard for the diagnosis of OSAS is polysomnography, respiratory polygraphy is an alternative valid method with a high level of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity; since the equipment is portable, it can be used at home, with no need for hospitalization.  To describe the polygraphy result of patients submitted to supracricoid partial laryngectomy.

The Trend in Age-Adjusted Incidence of Head and Neck Cancer in South Korea over the Past 20 Years.

Clin Exp Otorhinolaryngol

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Konkuk University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.

Objectives: We aimed to calculate the age-adjusted incidence rate of head and neck cancer (HNC) in South Korea from 1999 to 2020 and investigate the incidence trend of HNC excluding the effect of population aging.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Cancer Registration Statistics Program. All 12 types of HNCs were analyzed.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is a common type of head and neck cancer. This study investigated the role of the TRPM2 channel in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cell damage in human laryngeal squamous cancer cells (Hep-2). Cells were exposed to various DOX concentrations and the appropriate dose was found.

Background Selection between open thyroidectomy (OT) and minimally invasive (endoscopic/robotic) thyroidectomy (MT) for patients with thyroid cancer has been a subject of considerable debate. Comprehensive analysis of the short-term outcomes of endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET), robotic thyroidectomy (RT) and OT for thyroid cancer using a large-scale dataset is important. Methods This cohort study evaluated the outcomes of patients receiving ET, RT vs OT for thyroid cancer from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2022.

Background: Currently, the choice between radiotherapy and surgery for treating older patients with early laryngeal cancer remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the therapeutic patterns and survival outcomes for a cohort of older patients with early laryngeal cancer who received radiation therapy (RT) or surgery.

Methods: Clinical records of 1833 patients aged 65+ with stage I/II laryngeal cancer from the SEER registry (2010-2015) were assessed.
