[Effectiveness of therapeutic (NI, N2) modified radical neck dissection (MRND) in patients with laryngeal cancer].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

Efficacy of modified radical neck dissection in treatment of laryngeal cancer with node positive neck.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Retrospective analysis of 311 patients treated with modified radical (86) or radical (225) neck dissection. Recurrence rates, local and regional, after both operations and 5-year disease free survival (Kaplan-Meier method) were analyzed.

RESULTS:

Regional recurrence rates in N1 group after MRND were 3% and 13% after RND. In N2 group 13% and 16% respectively. 5-year survival after MRND in N1 group was 73% compared with 60% after RND. In N2 group 5-year survival was 56% and 47%.

CONCLUSION:

We consider MRND as effective treatment method of node positive neck in N1 and N2 stage compared to RND with less morbidity.
