Retrospective analysis of risk factors for lymph node metastasis in recurrent glottic cancer after primary laser surgery: a cohort study from China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although lymph node metastasis is a critical prognostic factor, the indications for neck dissection in recurrent glottic cancer after transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) are unclear. At present, there is no clear standard for simultaneous cervical lymph node dissection at home and abroad.

Methods

We summarize the pattern of regional recurrence in glottic cancer after initial TLM and to evaluate the risk factors for neck metastasis. Seventy-five cases with recurrent glottic cancer after TLM between December 2004 and June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Survival, regional control rate, and neck metastasis were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Univariate analysis was performed with the log-rank test and multivariate analysis was co
