Epidemiological and survival profile of laryngeal cancer patients recorded in the database of Ege University Medical School
Abstract
Aim: The scope of this study was to investigate the demographic characteristics of laryngeal cancer and the factors that may effect the overall survival of laryngeal cancer in patients recorded in Ege University Cancer and Research Center (EUKAM) database.
Materials and Methods: Data of 3144 laryngeal cancer patients registered at EUKAM between 1992-2016; diagnosis, age, gender, histopathology, tumor stage, treatment modalities, follow-up period and latest status were retrospectively evaluated.
Results: The average age of 3144 patients was 59.4±10.5 years. 94.9% of the cases were male and 5.1% were female. The most common histopathological type was carcinoma with the percentage of 97.4%, and the most common stage was locally limited with the percentage of 47.1%. The 5, 10, 15 and 20-year overall survival rates were 67%, 48.6%, 33.8% and 23.5%, respectively.
Conclusion: Tumor stage and age were found to be significantly effective on survival of laryngeal cancers, on the other hand gender did not have a significant effect on survival. In last decades there has been an increase in alternative options and success rates in larynx preservation treatment modalities in recent years, as well as an increase in the incidence of laryngeal cancer.
