Overall edian survival was 85 months. 5-year OS and DFS for laryngeal SCC were 65% and 47% respectively while 5-year OS and DFS for hypopharyngeal SCC were both 33%. Most common cause of death was due to advanced cancer secondary to disease recurrence.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Although there is increasing tendency towards laryngeal preservation, surgery remains a safe treatment option for selected patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SCC. In our local population, patients often present late with advanced cancer, as demonstrated by the high rate of emergency reoperative tracheostomy. However, there is no evidence that this affects survival.</p> | ||
