333例声门型喉癌颈淋巴结转移与预后的关系

背景与目的:声门型喉癌颈淋巴结转移率不高,颈部处理尚无统一认识.本研究探讨声门型喉癌颈淋巴结转移的预后及其影响因素.方法:收集1992年1月1日至2000年12月31日中山大学肿瘤防治中心收治的333例声门型喉癌患者的临床资料,对颈淋巴结转移情况、预后及颈部处理进行回顾性分析.结果:全组患者总的颈淋巴结转移率9.61%(32/333),隐性淋巴结转移率6.23%(20/321).绝大多数转移淋巴结位于同侧Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ区(28/32).病理分化级别与总的淋巴结转移率(P=0.092)及隐性淋巴结转移率(P=0.067)无明显相关性.总的淋巴结转移率(P=0.002)及隐性淋巴结转移率(P=0.015)随T分期升高而增高.cN0患者颈选择性放疗对隐性淋巴结转移率的影响无显著性(P=0.363).初治cN 组(3、5年生存率分别为56.25%、46;67%)预后差于初治cN0组(3、5年生存率分别为88.70%、85.37%)(P＜0.001);初治cN0组中出现隐性淋巴结转移的预后(3、5年生存率分别为68.18%、63.31%)差于未出现隐性淋巴结转移(3、5年生存率分别为89.00%、85.55%):初治cN 组有淋巴结转移的预后(3、5年生存率分别为41.67%、16.67%)差于初治cNO组中出现隐性淋巴结转移组(3、5年生存率分别为68.18%、63.31%)(P=0.004).结论:声门型喉癌绝大多数转移淋巴结位于同侧Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ区,最多位于同侧Ⅱ区;声门型喉癌颈淋巴结转移影响预后.

Correlation of cervical lymphatic metastasis to prognosis of glottic carcinoma: a report of 333 cases

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Cervical lymph node metastasis rate of glottic carcinoma is low. How to deal with cervical adenopathy remains controversial. This study was to explore the factors relate to cervical lymphatic metastasis of glottic carcinoma. METHODS: Clinical data of 333 patients with glottic carcinoma, treated at Cancer Center of Sun Yat-sen University from Jan. 1, 1992 to Dec. 31, 2000, were reviewed. Distribution of cervical adenopathy, prognosis, and neck management were analyzed. RESULTS: The overall lymphatic metastasis rate was 9.61% (32/333); the occult lymphatic metastasis rate was 6.24% (20/321). Most metastatic lymph nodes located at ipsilateral levels II, III and IV (28/32). The pathologic grade had no correlation to the overall lymphatic metastasis rate (P=0.092), and occult lymphatic metastasis rate (P=0.067). The overall lymphatic metastasis rate (P=0.002) and occult lymphatic metastasis rate (P=0.015) rose up following with increased T stage. Neck selective radiotherapy for the patients at stage cN0 had no significant impact on occult lymph node metastasis rate (P=0.363). The 3-and 5-year survival rates were significantly lower in cN+ patients than in cN0 patients (56.25% vs. 88.70%, 46.67% vs. 85.37%, P<0.001), significantly lower in the cN+ patients with occult lymph node metastasis than in the cN+ patients without lymph node metastasis (68.18% vs. 89.00%, 63.31% vs. 85.55%, P=0.005), and significantly lower in naive cN+ patients than in the naive cN0 patients with occult lymph node metastasis (41.67% vs. 68.18%, 16.67% vs. 63.31%, P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Most metastatic lymph nodes of glottic carcinoma locate at ipsilateral levels II, III and IV, especially at level II. Cervical lymphatic metastasis affects the prognosis of glottic carcinoma.
