What is Outcome of transoral laser microsurgery for T2‐T3 tumors growing in the laryngeal anterior commissure about?
## Abstract ## Background To evaluate the outcomes of transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in the treatment of T2 to T3 laryngeal carcinomas growing in the laryngeal anterior commissure. ## Methods This study was a retrospective analysis of 107 patients. Overall survival, disease‐specific survival, and laryngectomy‐free survival were analyzed. Technical difficulties, postoperative complications, influence of the learning curve, and the number of surgeries were evaluated. ## Results Five‐year overall survival, disease‐specific survival, and laryngectomy‐free survival were 71%, 79.5%, and 71.4%, respectively. The probability of tumor relapse was related to the status of the margins (__p__ = .01) and to surgical experience (__p__ = .02), but not to tumor exposure (__p__ = .78) or pT category (__p__ = .36). Disease‐specific survival differed significantly between the group of patients treated in the early period of surgical experience and those treated in the advanced period of surgical experience (71% vs 94%; __p__ = .02) ## Conclusion TLM is a useful treatment for T2 to T3 laryngeal carcinomas growing in the laryngeal anterior commissure when it is performed under an advanced learning
