Association of genetic polymorphisms with laryngeal carcinoma prognosis in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on laryngeal carcinoma (LC) risk and overall survival (OS) in 170 Chinese male LC patients followed for 10 years. After assessment of clinical characteristics (age, laryngectomy, neck dissection, tumor differentiation, TNM status), the patients were genotyped for 24 SNPs associated with risk in multiple cancers. LC risk was assessed using log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard models. The median OS time was 48 months. By the follow-up deadline, OS was 41.2%. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates to be 84.7%, 57.2%, and 47.1%, respectively. Five LC clinicopathological characteristics, namely total laryngectomy (TL), low differentiation (LD), T3-T4, N1-N2, and clinical stage III-IV were associate
