Transoral robotic approach to carcinoma of unknown primary.
BACKGROUND The management of carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is one of the challenging conditions in head and neck oncologic surgery. Despite various diagnostic tools, the primary tumor site in more than half of cases remains unidentified. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficiency of utilizing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the diagnosis and treatment of CU...

متن کاملCost-effectiveness of transoral robotic surgery in the unknown primary: corrigendum and response to comments.
The commentator has identified errors in Table 6 (see Corrected Table 6). An error in the “Hospital Cost” formula produced the discrepancy in the value for the “Sequential EUA/TORS” strategy, the cost of EUA/tonsillectomy for all patients plus TORS cost for the 70% whose primary was not found. The corrections do not change the order of the strategies’ costs or effectiveness but do markedly affe...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of transoral robotic surgery in the unknown primary: the problem of extended dominance.
Dr Byrd and colleagues have published a cost-effectiveness analysis of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in patients with an unknown primary. Using “proportion of primary sites identified” as the marker of effectiveness, the authors examine 3 strategies: evaluation under anesthesia (EUA) and tonsillectomy, EUA/tonsillectomy followed by TORS base-of-tongue resection (sequential EUA/TORS), and EUA...
