RESUMO
AIM: The objective of this study is to report the therapeutic results of the preservation strategy in locally advanced laryngeal cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 2008 and December 2015, 24 patients with locoregional advanced non-metastatic laryngeal cancer (T2-4/N0-2) were collected retrospectively. Different therapeutic sequences were used: either induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone. RESULTS: The objective response rate was 85.7%. Overall survival rates at 1 year, 3 years and 5 years were 91.3%, 80.2% and 53.5%, respectively. Administration of induction chemotherapy did not improve overall survival. The 1-year overall survival was 83.3% in the induction chemotherapy group vs 94.1% for those who did not received induction chemotherapy (p = 0.7). CONCLUSION: Our study showed the feasibility of this preservation strategy in clinical practice, with acceptable term toxicity.

The Buschke - Lowenstein tumor is a rare sexually transmitted disease. Its location at the anal margin is also very rare. The most incriminated risk factor is human papillomavirus infection. Its clinical form may be confusing with other tumor and infectious lesions. Histologically, it is characterized by a well-differentiated malpighian proliferation. It represents local aggressive behavior. The treatment of reference remains the surgery with healthy margins of excision. Other treatments have been tested, but their effectiveness remains uncertain. We report here a new case of anal margin Buschke - Lowenstein tumor with a review of the literature.
