Background:
Studies have shown mixed results on the role of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy (PORT) in surgically managed locally advanced laryngeal cancer.
Objectives:
The aim of this study is to review and investigate the role of PORT in patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer using meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods:
Relevant studies were searched using PubMed and eligible information has been extracted. Then, meta-analysis of hazard ratio (HR) was performed to evaluate the role of PORT in locally advanced laryngeal cancer.
Results:
This meta-analysis included 7 published studies containing 2007 patients. For overall survival (OS), patients of locally advanced laryngeal cancer who were treated with PORT have a combined hazard ratio (HR) of 0.67 with 95%CI (0.56, 0.79), compared to those who were not treated with PORT, which was significantly associated with better survival. PORT was also associated with a better disease-free survival (DFS) and local control rate (LCR) in patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer. The pooled HR and 95%CI for DFS and LCR were 0.72 (0.53, 0.99) and 0.29 (0.09, 0.99), respectively.
Conclusions And Significance:
This study suggested that PORT could improve the survival of patients with surgically managed locally advanced laryngeal cancer.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
