Bilateral Elective Neck Dissection in Salvage Total Laryngectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of elective bilateral neck dissection in patients with clinically negative lymph nodes (cN0) who underwent salvage total laryngectomy, by estimating the prevalence of histologically positive occult lymph nodes (pN+). Secondary objective will be the assessment of complication rate and the evaluation of 5-year Overall Survival (OS) and 5-year Disease-Specific Survival (DSS) in these patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Occult lymph node metastasis [At the time of salvage surgery]
Incidence rate of occult lymph node metastasislaryngectomy with clinically negative lymph nodes (cN0), estimating the prevalence of histologically positive lymph nodes (pN+) and predictive factors for cervical lymph nodes metastasis
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Complications of bilateral neck dissection during hospitalization [Up to 15 days from salvage surgery]
Complications of bilateral neck dissection during hospitalization
- Overall survival [5 year]
Survival of the patient from any disease
- Disease specific survival [5 years]
Survival of the patient from laryngeal disease
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion criteria
-patients affected by recurrent laryngeal cancer after primary treatment failure (surgery or radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy), with no clinical or radiological evidence of lymph node metastasis in the neck (cN0),who underwent salvage total laryngectomy and concomitant bilateral elective neck dissection (levels II, III, IV and VI).
Exclusion Criteria:
- patients who received other salvage laryngeal resection such as open partial horizontal laryngectomy, endoscopic partial laryngectomy, or who did not undergo bilateral selective neck dissection.
