ABSTRACT

The classic treatment of the laryngeal resectable stage III and IV epi-dermoid cancer is: surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Only on scarce occasions these patients can accede to organ preservation conserving correct phonetics and deglution with absence of aspiration. In most of the occasions the procedure of choice is total laryngectomy with or without cervical emptying if it is necessary. Since the end of the '80s. we have developed strategies for organ preservation of the tumors of the head and neck. Despite the implementation of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the later use of chemoradiotherapy simultaneously or the introduction of monoclonal antibodies anti EGFR (anti epidemic growth receptor factor), the rate of survival of the tumors in resectabale stage III and IV epidermoid carcinoma remains stable. The authors present their experience with the management of these patients, considering that the two main objectives for the development of new strategies for the treatment of laryngeal cancer are to raise the rate of survival, and the rate of larynx preservation. La rynx preservation using induction chemotherapy plus radiation therapy, and preservation in cases of advance laryngeal cancer treated with platinum, are also considered. Preservation using neoadjuvant chemotherapy is also detailed. The authors presents their experience with the management of these patients.

ABSTRACT

El ECOG performance status (EPS) y la evaluación del dolor total (EDT) fueron usados para estimar el grado de correlación entre ambas escalas, en pacientes (ptes) terminales, ambulatorios, con cáncer. Hubo una correlación de grado relativamente bajo (r:0,46) entre EPS y EDT. La media del EPS fue 1,12 y la media de la EDT fue de 2,12. Hubo 12,9 por ciento de ptes con más de 2 nivel de performance según el EPS y 35,4 por ciento más de 2 según la EDT. El 19,3 por ciento de los ptes tiene respuesta desadaptada en los aspectos espiritual y filosófico. Falta un mayor número de ptes y un seguimiento más prolongado para valorar el factor pronóstico de las escalas de evaluación global que incluyen los aspectos físicos, psíquicos, social, filosófico y espiritual de los ptes terminales con cáncer, a través de la interrelación entre la ciencia, la filosofía y la teología ("Espirituanálisis")
