    (Aves Press Ltd, 2017) Comert, Ela; Tuncel, Umit; Turan, Fatih; Kilic, Caner; Atabey, Pinar
    BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of alveolar mucosa, bone, cheek skin, and lip invasion of buccal carcinoma on locoregional recurrence and survival rates. MATERIALS and METHODS The study included 36 patients with T3-T4a buccal carcinoma. Both T3 and T4a tumors were divided into two subgroups: T3 tumors limited to buccal mucosa, T3 tumors with the involvement of alveolar mucosa, T4a tumors with bone invasion, and T4a tumors with skin and/or lip invasion. RESULTS In T3-T4a tumors, the rates of tumors limited to the buccal mucosa, tumors involving alveolar mucosa, bone of either the maxilla or mandible, and skin and/or lips were 25%, 22.2%, 33.3%, and 19.4%, respectively. The 3-year disease-free survival rate of patients with T3 and T4a tumors was 70.6% and 52.6%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival rate of patients with T3 and T4a tumors was 58.8% and 42.1%, respectively. Regarding the 3- and 5-year survival rates, no statistically significant difference was observed between T3 and T4a tumors and between their subgroups. CONCLUSION Despite the lack of statistical significance, there seemed to be a trend toward worse survival among the patients with bone invasion.

    Voice and Quality-of-Life Outcomes of Diode Laser for Tis-T1a Glottic Cancer
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2020) Sencan, Ziya; Comert, Ela; Tuncel, Umit; Kilic, Caner
    The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the voice and quality-of-life outcomes of microscopic diode laser surgery (MDLS). The study was conducted on a series of 46 patients with Tis-T1a glottic carcinoma treated with microscopic endolaryngeal diode laser surgery. Patients were asked to complete the Voice Handicap Index and quality-of-life questionnaires of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. When comparing the pre- and postoperative scores, there were significant difference on the physical scores (P = .014) of the patients who underwent type III cordectomy and functional (P = .022), emotional (P = .002), and overall scores (P = .005) of the patients who underwent type IV cordectomy, in the direction of better quality of voice after MDLS. The postoperative functional, physical, emotional, and overall scores of groups were significantly increased with the extension of resection.
