Radiotherapy vs Neck Dissection for Clinical T1/2N0 Supraglottic Cancer

Supraglottic cancer is a main type of laryngeal carcinoma, which is one of the most common head and neck tumors. Cervical nodal metastasis is an important prognostic factor in supraglottic cancer. Current management, following the US National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for T1-2, N0 supraglottic cancer (NCCN 2017), is either definitive radiotherapy or primary surgery with or without neck dissection. The optimal neck treatments strategy remains unclear in clinical settings owing to the limitation of a small number of retrospective studies and a lack of prospective trials. The investigators conducted a prospective, randomised trial to compare radiotherapy with neck dissection.

Treatment and study plan

Radiotherapy

Radiation

Radiotherapy with a dose of 66-70 Gy is used to manage the cervical lymph nodes

Selective neck dissection

Procedure

Selective neck dissection, defined as surgical clearance of the upper jugular (leveI II), midjugular (level III) and sometimes submandibular (level I) nodes, is used to manage the cervical lymph nodes

Primary outcomes

  1. Neck control rates

    Time frame: 2 years

    The percentage of patients without cervical lymph node metastasis

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease-free survival

    Time frame: 1 year

    The proportion of patients did not find clear evidence of recurrence or metastasis

  2. Disease-free survival

    Time frame: 2 years

    The proportion of patients did not find clear evidence of recurrence or metastasis

  3. Disease-free survival

    Time frame: 3 years

    The proportion of patients did not find clear evidence of recurrence or metastasis

  4. Disease-free survival

    Time frame: 5 years

    The proportion of patients did not find clear evidence of recurrence or metastasis

  5. Overall survival

    Time frame: 3 years

    The proportion of patients who survived

  6. Overall survival

    Time frame: 5 years

    The proportion of patients who survived

  7. Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Time frame: 1 year

    Evaluated by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30

  8. Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-HN35)

    Time frame: 1 year

    Evaluated by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-HN35

  9. Treatment cost

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The total cost of the treatment of the primary and cervical lymph nodes until the discharge
