Brief Summary

In this project, the investigators will realize an observational, prospective, multicentric and international clinical trial, to objectively compare patients with SSCC according to 3 arms of treatment:

  • Arm 1: Radiotherapy ± chemotherapy
  • Arm 2: Trans-oral Laser Microsurgery (TLM)
  • Arm 3: Trans-oral Robotic Surgery (TORS) The main goal is to evaluate the efficacy of each treatment with four classes of outcomes:
  • The quality of life (QoL) before and after each treatment option, using validated questionnaires
  • Oncological outcomes
  • Functional outcomes
  • Economical Resources The population will include cT1-T2 /cN0-N1/M0 supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. The primary outcome is a Clinical Dysphagia QoL evaluation assessed by the MD Anderson Dysphagia questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include others QoL evaluation, oncological and functional measures and cost parameters. The sample size needs to reach 36 patients per arm (total 108).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical Dysphagia QoL evaluation using MD Anderson Dysphagia Index (MDADI)

    Clinical Dysphagia QoL evaluation after treatment will be assessed using MD Anderson Dysphagia Index (MDADI). MDADI consists of 20 items pooled in 4 subscales: the global scale (1 item); the functional scale (5 items); the physical scale (8 items); and the emotional scale (6 items). All items are scored on a 5-point scale (1-5), where "1" corresponds to "total agreement" and "5" to "total disagreement." All except 2 items were scored such that higher scores indicated higher functioning. Responses on all domains were summed to calculate the total score (MDADI-T). The maximum score is 100, indicating high functioning, and the minimum score is 20, indicating poor functioning.

  • WITH a Multidisciplinary Tumor Board decision according to the NCCN or European guidelines
  • ≥ 18 years old and able to provide an informed consent
  • ECOG/WHO performance status ≤ 2

You may not qualify if:

  • \- Previous radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy treatment of the head and neck region
  • Previous history of head and neck cancer within 5 years
  • Prior invasive malignant disease unless disease-free for at least 5 years or more, with exception of non-melanoma skin cancer
  • Non-supraglottic or unknown primary site
  • Clinical and radiological signs of nodal extracapsular extension
