Case Report (n=2)
Total laryngectomy followed by post-operative radiotherapy can result in long-term recurrence-free survival in patients with rare laryngeal synovial sarcoma.
Bellakhdhar et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Laryngeal synovial sarcoma (n=2). Total laryngectomy and post-operative radiotherapy was evaluated on Recurrence. Total laryngectomy and post-operative radiotherapy resulted in two patients with laryngeal synovial sarcoma remaining recurrence-free for 24 months and 10 years, respectively.
