Brief Summary
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing functional organ preservation surgery (FOPS) vs. radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy as the first treatment modality for patients with head an neck squamous cell carcinoma arising in the oropharynx, larynx and hypopharynx. This study has a hypothesis that the FOPS is an effective treatment strategy to preserve the organ function without compromising oncologic safety and survival.

Study Arms (2)
FOPS
ACTIVE COMPARATOR* Functional organ preservation surgery (FOPS) group as a first-line treatment modality * Postoperative RT or CRT may be included for the patients of this group
CRT
ACTIVE COMPARATOR* Concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy group as a first-line treatment modality * Salvage surgery may be applied for the patients for persistent or recurrent cancers after CRT or RT
Interventions
* Functional organ preservation (FOPS) as a first-line treatment modality * Postoperative RT or CRT may be included for the patients of this group.
* Concurrent chemoradiotherapy as a first-line treatment modality * Salvage surgery may be applied for the patients with persistent or recurrent cancers after RT or CRT
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with squamous cell carcinomas arising in the oropharynx, larynx, or hypopharynx
- Resectable tumors without distant metastases
- age range: 18-80 years
- Pretreatment Karnofsky performance scale \> or 70%
- Operable patients
- No significant loss of pretreatment larynx and pharyngeal functions
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with a present or previous history of other cancers except benign tumors, premalignant lesions, carcinoma-in-situ (at some organ sites), well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma and low-grade salivary gland cancers (from tumor-board decision whether the tumors significantly affect the survival outcomes)
- Other organ-site cancers
- Low-performance status or non-operable patients
- Non-resectable or distant-metastatic tumors
- Extensive primary or neck nodal diseases
- Significant pretreament loss of laryngeal or pharyngeal functions
- cT1N0 glottic carcinomas
