Verrucous Carcinoma
Overall, 34 patients were diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma, and while
the primary treatment modality was surgery in 32 patients, the remaining
2 patients were treated with primary RT due to patient preferences.
During the follow-up period, salvage total laryngectomy was performed in
one of the patients due to recurrent disease, while the other patient
was followed up as disease-free. The information about the treatment
modalities of the primary disease, recurrence, and treatment of
recurrence is given in Table 3 .
During the follow-up, 6 patients were lost due to systemic diseases not
related to laryngeal malignancy: Cerebrovascular Accident,
hepatocellular carcinoma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD). The median follow-up duration was 84 months. 5-years
disease-specific survival is 100% and overall survival is 90%.
