ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Laryngeal carcinoma is a common neoplasia in our country. It is well-known that the supraglottis is more frequently involved in Mediterranean countries. We present our results on the incidence of neoplasias affecting supraglottis and glottis and we find a change in the normal trend. OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence of glottic and supraglottic tumours in our hospital over the last 31 years. We also analyze risk factors such as smoking and alcohol in the population of the Valencian Region. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We performed a retrospective review of 991 patients diagnosed as having carcinomas of the glottis and supraglottis between 1974 and 2005. The epidemiological data about the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in the population of the Valencian Region, Spain, are obtained from descriptive epidemiological studies (Health Statistics and the 2003 National Health Survey). CONCLUSIONS: With a total of 548 carcinomas of the glottis and 443 of the supraglottis, we find a change in the incidence maintained since 1990, with statistically significant differences (P=.0056). Thus, we can state that the glottis is more frequently affected than the supraglottis. Changes in the consumption of tobacco and alcohol cannot explain this current change.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los carcinomas de laringe son una neoplasia frecuente en nuestro país. Por todos es conocido que en los países mediterráneos predomina la localización supraglótica sobre la glótica. Hemos estudiado la incidencia en nuestro medio de ambas localizaciones y hemos comprobado una inversión. Objetivo: Estudiar la incidencia de los tumores glóticos y supraglóticos en el Hospital Universitario Dr. Peset en los últimos 31 años. También se analizan los hábitos tóxicos de la población de la Comunidad Valenciana relacionados con la aparición de este tipo de neoplasias. Pacientes y método: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de 991 pacientes diagnosticados de carcinomas glóticos y supraglóticos desde 1984 a 2005. Los datos epidemiológicos respecto al consumo de tabaco y alcohol en la población de la Comunidad Valenciana se obtienen a través de estudios epidemiológicos descriptivos de ámbito nacional (Estadísticas de Salud y Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2003). Conclusiones: Con un total de 548 carcinomas de localización glótica y 443 de localización supraglótica, hemos observado una inversión en la incidencia desde el año 1990 que se mantiene hasta la actualidad, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p = 0,0056). Por lo tanto, se puede afirmar que actualmente la incidencia de tumores glóticos es mayor que la de los supraglóticos en nuestro medio. Los cambios en el estilo de vida de nuestra población actualmente no permiten explicar este cambio
