Article Abstract

Objective: To identify risk factors for Lymph Node Metastasis (LNM) in pT3-4 Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) patients with negative margins, and develop a nomogram to predict LNM risk.

Methods: 872 patients were divided into training (2010-2014) and validation (2015-2016) cohorts. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified LNM risk factors. A nomogram incorporating significant factors was developed in the training cohort.

Results: Smoking history, maximal tumor diameter ≥3.0 cm, depth of tumor invasion >1.0 cm, and supraglottic tumor location were significantly associated with LNM on multivariate analysis. A predictive nomogram incorporating these factors showed good discrimination (C-index > 0.7) in both cohorts. Patients were stratified into low, moderate and high-risk subgroups based on total risk scores.

Conclusions: A LNM risk prediction model and risk grouping system was established, which may aid treatment selection for pT3-4 LSCC patients. The model and algorithm could help optimize neck management for this high-risk patient population.

Purpose: This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) combined with adjuvant radiotherapy for the treatment of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD).

Methods: This retrospective study included 87 patients with pathologically confirmed EMPD and complete follow-up data who were treated at the Radiation Therapy Department of Peking University First Hospital between January 2012 and December 2021. The surgical approach for the primary lesion involved MMS, followed by postoperative radiotherapy with doses ranging from 50 to 60 Gy administered over 25-30 fractions.
