Head & Neck Jan 31, 2019
Riley CA, et al. - Querying the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare linked database from 2003 to 2011, researchers evaluated patients aged ≥ 66 years with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and/or laryngopharyngeal reflux for the occurrence of flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy (FFL) or CT within 6 months of the exposure diagnosis in this case-cohort study. They analyzed a total of 156,426 Medicare beneficiaries and noted an association of early FFL and CT with a higher likelihood of laryngeal cancer diagnosis in elderly individuals with reflux. They recommended screening trials to establish this relationship.
