OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: There are limited treatment options beyond surgical salvage for patients who fail nonoperative treatment for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A positive Delphian node is known to predict a poor prognosis in laryngeal cancer. To elucidate the clinical significance of positive Delphian node metastasis in supracricoid laryngectomized patients, we conducted a thorough clinical review. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Histologically positive neck was highly significantly associated with worse prognosis, much more than recurrence within larynx. [omicsonline.org]

Etiology Alcohol and tobacco have synergistic carcinogenic properties, which directly contribute to most causes of laryngeal cancer. Most laryngeal cancers have a squamous cell histopathology. [emedicine.medscape.com]

We only included observational epidemiological studies and used risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to summarize the primary risk factors associated with recurrence following laryngectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
