          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados do tratamento da doença metastática em estádio avançado (N3) e sua relação com o prognóstico do carcinoma espinocelular de cabeça e pescoço. MÉTODO: Foram revisados as informações de prontuários de 241 pacientes, com carcinoma espinocelular de boca, orofaringe, laringe e hipofaringe com metástases cervicais maiores que 6 cm (N3) submetidos à cirurgia e/ou radioterapia, no Departamento de Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço e Otorrinolaringologia do Hospital Heliópolis, Hosphel, São Paulo, de 1988 a 1998. Nos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia foi avaliada a radicalidade cirúrgica, macroscopicamente completa ou não, e naqueles tratados pela radioterapia, foi analisada a resposta do sítio primário e do pescoço imediatamente ao término do tratamento. A sobrevida livre de doença foi estimada pelo método de Kapplan Meier no grupo submetido à cirurgia. RESULTADOS: A irressecabilidade da lesão primária e metastática no pescoço justificou a indicação da radioterapia na dose média de 65 Gy, em 69 pacientes ocorrendo resposta completa no sítio primário em 24(36%), no pescoço em 12 (18%), e em ambos os sítios em 11 casos (16%). No grupo sumetido à cirurgia seguido de radioterapia, a dose média foi de 56 Gy. Dos 25 pacientes com ressecção macroscópica radical do pescoço, cinco (20%) recidivaram, e dos cinco com ressecção incompleta e radioterapia, dois tiveram sobrevida de sete a 12 meses após o tratamento, quando foram perdidos de seguimento. A sobrevida livre de doença em dois anos neste grupo foi de 58%. CONCLUSÕES: Para pacientes com linfonodo metastático N3, o esvaziamento cervical seguido de radioterapia foi eficiente no controle regional da doença enquanto que nos inoperáveis, a radioterapia é um tratamento paliativo.

          BACKGROUND: We assessed the results of therapy for advanced lymph node metastases (N3) and its relation with the prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. METHODS: Files of 241 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth, oropharynx, larynx and hipopharynx with advanced metastatic lymph nodes (N3), submited to surgery and/or radiotherapy, were reviewed at the Head and Neck and Otorhinolaryngology Department of Hospital Heliópolis, Hosphel, São Paulo (1988 to 1998). For the surgical group, complete or incomplete resection was evaluated and for the irradiated group the responsiveness at the end of the therapy was analysed. Disease- free survival for the first group was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier. RESULTS: The unresecability of the neoplasia justified the radiotherapy at medium dose of 65 Gy for 69 patients, with complete response at primary lesion in 24(36%), and at the neck in 12(18%), and for both sites in 11(16%). For the surgical group followed by irradiation, the medium dose was 56 Gy. From 25 patients submitted to radical resection of the neck, five (20%) presented recurrence, and the five cases with partial resection and radiotherapy, two presented a global survival from seven to 12 mouths. For the surgical group, disease-free survival for two years was 58%. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with N3 neck node metastases, neck dissection, followed by radiotherapy, was effective for disease regional control, while, for inoperable cases, radiotherapy was only a paliative method.

          Salvage surgery of cervical recurrences after neck dissection or radiotherapy.

          A series of 113 patients operated on in the period 1980-1989 for a neck recurrence from a head and neck cancer was studied. All patients had no other evidence of disease. The male/female ratio was 93/20, and the median age was 58 years (range 28-87). Previous treatment consisted of surgery (SG) +/- radiotherapy (RT) in 81 patients (SG group) and only RT in 32 (RT group): 59 cases presented a relapse in the treated neck and 54 in the contralateral side. All but one contralateral recurrences were in the SG group. Ten patients were lost to follow-up. The observed 5-year survival rate of the whole series was 29.2% (95% confidence interval, 0%-38%). Considering patients with ipsilateral recurrences, the 5-year disease-free survival rate was 38.7% (95% c.i., 28.7%-48.7%) and 27% (95% c.i., 18%-36%) for the SG and the RT group, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival rate after SG for contralateral recurrences was 38.8% (95% c.i., 23.8%-53.8%). Dimension and mobility of the neck nodes were the only demonstrable prognostic factors.
