Summary: Post-pharyngo-laryngectomy fistula is a frequent surgical complication, resulting in delayed patient management and reduced quality of life. A recent study has shown that the appearance of a fistula can be detected early by measuring cytokines (particularly IL10) in postoperative drainage fluids. Resumption of feeding following this surgery varies between postoperative day 5 and postoperative day ...

Summary: The investigators will obtain three-monthly voice recordings and fiberendoscopic examinations of the larynx/hypopharynx for a minimal period of 6 months from all laryngeal/hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC/HPSCC) patients, who have successfully completed curative primary treatment, except those who underwent total laryngectomy. Furthermore, the investigators will ask the patients to fil...

Summary: The therapeutic education of patients and their close relations is, as yet, poorly developed in France in the field of oncology (Pérol2007), in particular for cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract (Allison2010). In the case of pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer, total laryngectomy associated with radiotherapy remains a reference treatment for advanced stage cancers. This mutilating surgical proced...

Summary: Single-centre prospective pilot study designed to demonstrate the acceptability of onco-sexology management for laryngectomy patients and their partners in order to improve their perception of their intimate life. This is a non-interventional study (category 3 Loi Jardé), which will not result in any change in patient management. All procedures will be carried out in accordance with standard pract...

Summary: To perform a multi-site prospective study assessing, both subjectively and objectively, the gender disparities in speech outcomes of patients using TEP after total laryngectomy. The investigators hypothesize that speech outcomes, both subjective and objective measures, will be significantly poorer for female patients compared to male patients. The outcome of the study is to prospectively assess bo...

Summary: Prospective multicentric study to evaluate decisional regret and psychometric and functional outcomes in patient previously treated with Open Horizontal partial Laryngectomy

Summary: ELOS is a prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled, two-armed parallel group, phase II multicentre trial in local advanced stage III, IVA/B head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx or hypopharynx (LHNSCC) with PD-L1-expression within tumor tissue biopsy, calculated as CPS ≥ 1 curable by total laryngectomy. Induction chemotherapy (IC) with Docetaxel and Cisplatin (TP) followed by ...

Summary: Therapy of advanced cancer of the larynx includes excision of the entire larynx. After the removal of the larynx, the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES) is created by reconstruction of the soft tissue of the pharynx and oesophagus, and its vibration creates a replacement voice. High-speed video endoscopy (HSV) is the only method that visualizes and measures vibration of pharyngoesophageal mucosa (PE...

Summary: This study aims to investigate the analgesic efficacy of Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block combined with GA using two bupivacaine concentrations in patients undergoing neck surgeries (total thyroidectomy or total laryngectomy)

Summary: The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy combined with cetuximab and platinum neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer. Participants will receive three cycles of TPC neoadjuvant therapy (toripalimab+ cetuximab + platinum), radical surgery (laryngeal preservation surgery if possible), and sequential (che...

Summary: Multicenter retrospective study of a cohort of patients affected by laryngeal carcinoma and subjected to total laryngectomy surgery at the centers participating in the reference period and responding to inclusion criteria.

Summary: Multicenter, prospective, randomized study aimed at evaluating the difference in risk of PCF after salvage laryngectomy in two groups of patients: one cohort treated with Total Laryngectomy (LT) with primary suture, a second group treated with LT and reinforcement by flap positioning with onlay technique (PMM, ALT)
