声门上型喉癌临床N1患者转移颈淋巴结的分布

目的 分析声门上型喉癌病例早期颈淋巴转移(clinical N1，cN1)的特点，探讨合理的颈清扫手术方式。方法 1987年3月-1997年10月收治108例声门上型喉癌cN1的患者行喉原发灶切除时，先行改良或经典颈清扫术，将颈清扫标本的淋巴结分区行病理学检查，确定最常见颈淋巴转移的分布。结果 108例(147侧)颈清扫标本中检出转移淋巴结126个，其中Ⅱ、Ⅲ区转移淋巴结占总数的89．7％(113／126)，Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ区占97．6％(123／126)。126个转移淋巴结分布在109个区次，其中Ⅱ、Ⅲ区占88．1％(96／109)，Ⅱ，Ⅲ和Ⅳ区占97．2％(106／109)。45例(63侧)术后颈淋巴结病理检查阳性，声门上喉癌cN1的转移率为41．7％(45／108)，双颈转移率为18．5％(20／108)。随访5～14年，随访率为98％，颈部复发8例，复发率为7．4％(8／108)，复发部位分别位于Ⅱ、Ⅲ和Ⅳ区。5年生存率为81．5％(88／108)。结论 对声门上型喉癌cN1病例可行颈侧清扫术(即Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ区的清扫)，Ⅰ、Ⅴ区在无明显转移证据时可避免行该区的清扫术；一侧术后病理证实有转移或对侧cN1的病例，对侧亦应行颈侧清扫术。

Distribution of cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with cN1 supraglottic cancer

OBJECTIVE: To study the characteristics of the cervical lymph node metastasis of patients with cN1 supraglottic cancer and to elucidate which levels should be involved during neck dissection. METHODS: Modified neck dissections or radical neck dissections were performed for 108 cases (147 sides) of cN1 supraglottic cancer. All the lymph nodes of the samples of 147 operation sides were examined pathologically to identify the metastatic levels. RESULTS: Among samples of 108 cases (147 sides), 126 lymph nodes were metastasis, among which 113 lymph nodes were located in levels II and III (89.7%, 113/126), and 123 lymph nodes in levels II, III and IV (97.6%, 123/126). The 126 metastatic nodes were distributed in the 109 levels and 96 of them were in the levels II and III (88.1%, 96/109) and 106 were in the levels II, III and IV (97.2%, 106/109). Additionally, 45 cases (63 sides) of the 108 patients were pathologically metastasis (41.7%) and bilateral cervical metastasis occurred in 20 cases (18.5%). The cervical recurrent rate was 7.4% (8/108) and occurred in the levels II, III and IV respectively, during five to fourteen years follow-up. CONCLUSION: Levels II, III and IV dissection may be reasonable for patients with cN1 supraglottic carcinomas, levels I and V dissection may be avoidable when pathological evidence of metastasis in levels I and V has not been obtained. Contralateral lymph node dissection at the levels II, III and IV should be performed in the case of ipsilateral pN + or contralateral metastasis cN1.
