ABSTRACT
Introduction: laryngeal cancer is diagnosed with the highest incidence at an early stage, it represents the second most common cause of malignant neoplasms of the respiratory tract after lung cancer, its diagnosis and effective treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality is of vital importance.Objective: to describe the results obtained in the management of patients with laryngeal cancer in early stages.
Methods: a retrospective, descriptive study was conducted at the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology, from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2009. The study population consisted of all patients with early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. All clinical history information was collected and the results were recorded on the data collection sheet.
Results: male gender predominance was found in the series studied (86,5 %) and the age group of 60 years (64,5 %) and older. It was found that more than half of the cases had a history of smoking and alcoholism (71,3 %). Dysphonia was the main reason for consultation (96,8 %). The most affected anatomical site was the glottis (87.6 %) and the well-differentiated histological variety predominated with 58,2 %. Stage-I was 61,4 %. 78,5 % of the patients received radiotherapy as the only modality.
Conclusions: the socio-demographic and therapeutic variables of the patients in this series are similar to those reported by other authors. When comparing it with national and international series.
