Our experience points to a detrimental clinical effect in overall prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis, despite its benefit in certain subtypes. Methods A telephone survey was performed to parallel the findings of the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (‘GA2LEN’) chronic rhinosinusitis screening survey. This was itself based on the widely recognised European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (‘EP3OS’) criteria. Results A total of 120 patients responded to the survey. The prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis in the sample (anti-TNF therapy) population was 20 per cent (95 per cent confidence interval= 12.84–27.16). Anti-TNF therapy is therefore a risk factor for chronic rhinosinusitis when compared, using a one-sample test of proportions, with prevalence in the wider population. Conclusion This is the first observational study indicating increased prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients treated with anti-TNF therapy. These clinical findings require investigation in greater depth to clarify the nature of pathologies we currently diagnose and treat as chronic rhinosinusitis. Transoral partial oropharyngectomy for oropharyngeal cancer R Gan, M Nistor, G Wijayasingam, S Mortimore, M De From the Royal Derby Hospital Introduction Transoral surgery has gained popularity as a treatment of oropharyngeal cancer (Sheahan, 2015). This study aimed to analyse the oncological and survival outcomes of patients who had undergone transoral surgery for oropharyngeal cancer. Methods A retrospective study was conducted of oropharyngeal cancer patients treated with primary transoral partial oropharyngectomy between 29 August 2001 and 13 October 2015 performed by two consultants. Results Thirty-one patients were included. Seven (22.6 per cent) had stage I disease, 3 (9.7 per cent) stage II, 6 (19.4 per cent) stage III and 15 (48.4 per cent) stage IV. Twelve patients (38.7 per cent) were human papillomavirus positive. Twenty-five patients were treated with transoral laser surgery with or without neck dissection and/or chemoradiotherapy. Six patients had transoral robotic surgery with or without neck dissection and/or chemoradiotherapy. Five patients (16.1 per cent) had disease recurrence. Six patients (19.4 per cent) had positive margins on resection. The fiveyear disease-free survival rate was 78 per cent, and the disease-specific survival rates at two and five years were both 85 per cent. Five patients (16.1 per cent) died during follow up.
