Abstract

Background: This ORATOR sub-study evaluated swallowing physiology in patients treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) versus radiotherapy (RT) for early-stage oropharynx cancer.

Methods: Swallowing physiology was evaluated using videofluoroscopy and outcomes were compared across treatment arms and correlated with MDADI scores.

Results: Of the 68 patients in the ORATOR trial, 21 participated in this sub-study (30.8%), including 15 RT Arm and six TORS Arm patients. Swallowing profiles were not significantly different between the arms. MBSImP pharyngeal scores for RT Arm versus TORS Arm patients were 4.8 (±2.1) versus 4.3 (±1.5) at baseline, 6.2 (±1.2) versus 9.6 (±4.8) at 6 months and 5.9 (±1.8) versus 8.0 (±4.7) at 12 months. MBSImP pharyngeal scores demonstrated weak associations with several MDADI subscales and PAS scores.

Conclusions: To best describe swallowing outcomes in studies of RT and/or surgery, instrumental swallowing assessments should be strongly considered in addition to quality of life measures.

经口机器人手术与放射治疗对口咽癌患者吞咽功能的影响：一项随机试验的子研究。

背景：这项 ORATOR 子研究评估了经口机器人手术（TORS）与放疗（RT）治疗早期口咽癌患者的吞咽生理学：这项ORATOR子研究评估了早期口咽癌经口机器人手术（TORS）与放疗（RT）治疗患者的吞咽生理学：方法：使用视频荧光镜评估吞咽生理学，比较各治疗组的结果，并与MDADI评分相关联：在ORATOR试验的68名患者中，有21名患者（30.8%）参加了本次子研究，其中包括15名RT治疗臂患者和6名TORS治疗臂患者。两组患者的吞咽情况无明显差异。RT 治疗组和 TORS 治疗组患者的咽部 MBSImP 评分基线分别为 4.8（±2.1）分和 4.3（±1.5）分，6 个月时分别为 6.2（±1.2）分和 9.6（±4.8）分，12 个月时分别为 5.9（±1.8）分和 8.0（±4.7）分。MBSImP咽部评分与几个MDADI分量表和PAS评分的关联性较弱：为了在 RT 和/或手术研究中最好地描述吞咽结果，除了生活质量测量之外，还应该着重考虑工具性吞咽评估。
