CONCLUSIONES

La necesidad de uniformar la recogida de datos, clínicos e histopatológicos en pacientes con cáncer de laringe e hipofaringe, es una necesidad a la que se le debe dar solución. Es recomendable la utilización de lista de elección múltiple que incluya las posibles opciones tanto clínicas como histopatológicas. Creemos que es el momento de que estas hojas de elección múltiple deben acompañar los protocolos quirúrgicos e histopatológicos, de manera que podamos afirmar con seguridad que toda la información esencial está disponible en todos y cada uno de los informes quirúrgicos e histopatológicos para todos los pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Clinical and histopathological data collection from patient with cancer is of paramount importance in order to evaluate treatment results and patients prognosis. Although TNM classification has undergo multiple critics, its use is wide spread and no has no substitute. Uniform and constant recording of data must be independent of who makes it. For this reason a data collection protocol is presented, based on that used in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Key words: TNM classification, reporting, larynx, hypopharynx, neoplasia.
