Abstract

Background: Laryngeal cancer is a common type of head and neck cancer, with hoarseness being one of its primary symptoms. Treatment for laryngeal cancer includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, with surgery being often used for early stage or locally advanced cases without distant metastasis. At Thong Nhat Hospital, the implementation of laryngectomy surgery from 2020 has shown efforts to improve the quality of laryngeal cancer treatment. We conducted this research with the aim of investigating the clinical and subclinical characteristics of laryngeal cancer cases and evaluating the primary outcomes of surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer in this group of patients. Method: The study was conducted on 52 patients diagnosed with laryngeal cancer and 13 patients who underwent laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer at Thong Nhat Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, from 01/01/2020 to 30/06/2024, using a retrospective descriptive method. Result: The average age of the patients was 62,5 ± 8 years, with the youngest being 52 and the oldest 75 years old. Males accounted for 100% of the cases. Hoarseness was the most common symptom, present in 86,5% of patients. Tumors classified as T3 made up 38,7%, and 58,2% of patients had no lymph node metastasis. Postoperative complications occurred in 23,1% (3/13) of patients, and the recurrence rate was 12,5% (1/8). Conclusion: Laryngeal cancer is one of the prevalent cancers in Vietnam. Early detection and treatment lead to better outcomes. Surgery is applied in early or locally advanced stages without distant metastasis. Initial findings show favorable outcomes in laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer at Thong Nhat Hospital.
