Salvage total laryngectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx : validated prognostic nomograms predicting oncological outcomes Ghent University Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Background Salvage total laryngectomy (STL) is a preferred treatment for patients with residual, recurrent, and second primary squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx/hypopharynx after (chemo)radiation. To individually estimate postoperative oncological outcomes, we designed and validated prognostic nomograms. Methods We used a dataset of 290 patients who underwent STL.
