Article information

Treatment of glottic carcinoma with anterior commissure involvement is under debate. Treatment spectrum includes surgery, open or endoscopic, and radiotherapy. Since similar results are reported in the literature, preferences depend on experience and skill of the person responsible for treatment. Our objective is the analysis of scientific data published in Medline, CancerLit, Cochrane Register, and EMBASE, between 1996 and 2007.

Twenty-five articles matched our selection criteria. None was a controlled randomized, double-blind trial, clinical guidelines, or a meta-analysis. Eleven were historical, 7 clinical trials, 6 review articles, and 1 was a Cochrane review. There is no scientific data to support recommendations for the most effective treatment in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anterior commissure. The available evidence is level 5, with a D recommendation grade.

El tratamiento de los tumores glóticos que afectan a la comisura anterior admite una variedad de opciones (cirugía abierta, cirugía endoscópica o radioterapia), con similares resultados desde el punto de vista oncológico. Las preferencias terapéuticas varían según los países y la experiencia. El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la evidencia científica de las series publicadas entre 1996 y 2007 e incluidas en las bases de datos MEDLINE, Cancer- Lit, EM-BASE y Cochrane Plus.

Se identificaron 25 artículos con los criterios de búsqueda, ninguno de ellos controlado, aleatorizado, a doble ciego, meta-análisis o guía de práctica clínica. Se encontraron 11 estudios descriptivos, 7 ensayos clínicos, 6 artículos de revisión y una revisión Cochrane.

Actualmente no hay evidencia científica suficiente para determinar cuál es el tratamiento más eficaz en los tumores de comisura anterior, pues la que hay es de nivel 5, con un grado de recomendación D.
