[Tracheostomy in patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer]
Abstract:
The authors present the results of treatment of 62 patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer (LALC) stage III-IV (T3-4NOMO) treated in 1986-2000. The study was made of tracheostomy effects in laryngostenosis following radical operation (not tracheostomy as a stage of laryngectomy) on regional and distant metastasizing as well as on further growth, tumor recurrence and survival in treated patients with LALC. The authors conclude that tracheostomy conducted before radical surgery has a negative effect on heeling the postoperative wound, promotes regional metastasizing and tumor recurrence in patients with LALC, lowers 5-year survival.
