Abstract

ImportanceThe association of primary tumor volume with outcomes in T3 glottic cancers treated with radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy remains unclear, with some evidence suggesting worse locoregional control in larger tumors.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of primary tumor volume with oncologic outcomes in patients with T3 N0-N3 M0 glottic cancer treated with primary (chemo)radiotherapy in a large multi-institutional study.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis multi-institutional retrospective cohort study involved 7 Canadian cancer centers from 2002 to 2018. Tumor volume was measured by expert neuroradiologists on diagnostic imaging. Clinical and outcome data were extracted from electronic medical records. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) outcomes were assessed with marginal Cox regression. Laryngectomy-free survival (LFS) was modeled as a secondary analysis. Patients diagnosed with cT3 N0-N3 M0 glottic cancers from 2002 to 2018 and treated with curative intent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with or without chemotherapy. Overall, 319 patients met study inclusion criteria.ExposuresTumor volume as measured on diagnostic imaging by expert neuroradiologists.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPrimary outcomes were OS and DFS; LFS was assessed as a secondary analysis, and late toxic effects as an exploratory analysis determined before start of the study.ResultsThe mean (SD) age of participants was 66 (12) years and 279 (88%) were men. Overall, 268 patients (84%) had N0 disease, and 150 (47%) received concurrent systemic therapy. The mean (SD) tumor volume was 4.04 (3.92) cm3. With a mean (SD) follow-up of 3.85 (3.04) years, there were 91 (29%) local, 35 (11%) regional, and 38 (12%) distant failures. Increasing tumor volume (per 1-cm3 increase) was associated with significantly worse adjusted OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.07; 95% CI, 1.03-1.11) and DFS (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.07). A total of 62 patients (19%) underwent laryngectomies with 54 (87%) of these within 800 days after treatment. Concurrent systemic therapy was associated with improved LFS (subdistribution HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.53-0.76).Conclusions and RelevanceIncreasing tumor volumes in cT3 glottic cancers was associated with worse OS and DFS, and systemic therapy was associated with improved LFS. In absence of randomized clinical trial evidence, patients with poor pretreatment laryngeal function or those ineligible for systemic therapy may be considered for primary surgical resection with postoperative radiotherapy.
