Aim of this study was to investigate any eventual quantitative variations in the serological concentration of parathormone in a homogenous sample of patients suffering from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent only surgery. A total of 12 patients (2 female, 10 male), aged between 58 and 76 years, were treated between June 2002 and June 2003. The patients were all affected by T2-T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Serum intact parathyroid hormone and calcaemia were measured pre- and post-operatively. Of these patients, 2 underwent total laryngectomy (including thyroid isthmectomy), 5 patients received partial supraglottic laryngectomy, while the remaining 5 were submitted to supracricoid laryngectomy. Results showed a progressive regression of parathyroid hormone level, in only one case and was not, however, below normal limits. Contrary to data reported in the literature, this study indicated that the incidence of hypoparathyroidism following laryngeal surgery, even in radical surgical approaches, proved to be closer to zero.

Abstract

Aim of this study was to investigate any eventual quantitative variations in the serological concentration of parathormone in a homogenous sample of patients suffering from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent only surgery. A total of 12 patients (2 female, 10 male), aged between 58 and 76 years, were treated between June 2002 and June 2003. The patients were all affected by T2-T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Serum intact parathyroid hormone and calcaemia were measured pre- and post-operatively. Of these patients, 2 underwent total laryngectomy (including thyroid isthmectomy), 5 patients received partial supraglottic laryngectomy, while the remaining 5 were submitted to supracricoid laryngectomy. Results showed a progressive regression of parathyroid hormone level, in only one case and was not, however, below normal limits. Contrary to data reported in the literature, this study indicated that the incidence of hypoparathyroidism following laryngeal surgery, even in radical surgical approaches, proved to be closer to zero.
