Abstract
Objective: Oncological and functional outcomes for T1-2 N0-1 (TNMv8) p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients were analysed, according to treatment: either transoral robotic surgery (TORS) (Surgery group – TORS and neck dissection ± adjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy), or primary radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy (Oncology group). Methods: Single-centre retrospective observational study.// Results: The 2-year disease-free survival rate was 88% for the Oncology group (n=42), and 95% for the Surgery group (n=44). The 2-year overall survival rate was 98% for the Oncology group and 100% for the Surgery group. The functional swallowing outcome at 2-years posttreatment was similar in both groups. Subgroup analysis showed patients treated with surgery-only with no adjuvant treatment had the best functional outcome whilst patients treated with surgery and post-operative chemoradiotherapy had the worst functional outcome.// Conclusion: The overall oncological and functional outcomes at 2-years were similar in both groups. Patients treated with surgery-only had the best functional outcome without compromised oncological outcome.
