ABSTRACT
Objective:
Laryngeal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare diseases. A single institution retrospective study was done of the outcome of patients with laryngeal NENs who undergo primary surgery as the first treatment modality.Methods:
Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients with laryngeal NENs between 2009 and 2018. Cases were classified by applying the 2022 World Health organization Classification of Head and Neck Tumors (5th edition).Results:
Six patients were eligible at our tertiary center 1 large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), 3 small cell NEC, 1 neuroendocrine tumor grade 1, and 1 neuroendocrine tumor grade 2. All admitted patients received upfront surgeries, including 3 transoral CO2 laser surgeries and 3 total laryngectomies with or without elective neck dissection. Four patients underwent subsequent chemoradiotherapy. Although 3 patients had recurrent disease and distal metastasis, the overall survival was generally improved.Conclusion:
According to our institutional experience, upfront surgery in the first-line setting of a multi-modality approach with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy plays a very important role in managing laryngeal NECs, and may confer additional survival benefit in some patients of the large cell carcinoma subgroup.
