Purpose: To evaluate the association of primary tumor volume (TV) with overall survival (OS) and disease‐free survival (DFS) in T3 N0‐3M0 supraglottic cancers treated with intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study involving 239 patients diagnosed with T3 N0‐3M0 supraglottic cancers between 2002 and 2018 from seven regional cancer centers in Canada. Clinical data were obtained from the patient records. Supraglottic TV was measured by neuroradiologists on diagnostic imaging. Kaplan–Meier method was used for survival probabilities, and a restricted cubic spline Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyze TV associations with OS and DFS. Results: Mean (SD) of participants was 65.2 (9.4) years; 176 (73.6%) participants were male. 90 (38%) were N0, and 151 (64%) received concurrent systemic therapy. Mean TV (SD) was 11.37 (12.11) cm3. With mean follow up (SD) of 3.28 (2.60) years, 2‐year OS was 72.7% (95% CI 66.9%–78.9%) and DFS was 53.6% (47.4%–60.6%). Increasing TV was associated (per cm3 increase) with worse OS (HR, 1.01, 95% CI 1.00–1.02, p < 0.01) and DFS (HR, 1.01, 95% CI 1.00–1.02, p = 0.02). Conclusions: Increasing primary tumor volume is associated with worse OS and DFS in T3 supraglottic cancers treated with IMRT, with no clear threshold. The findings suggest that patients with larger tumors and poor baseline laryngeal function may benefit from upfront laryngectomy with adjuvant radiotherapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
