Abstract:	Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has been used for treating pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers for many years. However, the application of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) before TORS, the sparing rate of adjuvant irradiation after TORS, and the long-term oncologic/functional outcomes of TORS are seldom reported. From September 2014 to May 2018, 30 patients with clinical T1 to T3 cancers of oropharynx (7), larynx (3), and hypopharynx (20) were prospectively recruited for TORS in a tertiary referral medical center. Twelve (40%) patients had clinical early stage (I or II) disease, and 18 (60%) patients had late-stage (III or IV) disease. All 30 patients were suggested to receive TORS with neck dissection. Cisplatin-based NACT was given to 11 patients before the surgery, and it led to a 100% reduction in tumor size. Only 40% of patients needed adjuvant irradiation with a mean dosage of 5933 cGY after TORS. After a mean follow up of 38.9 +/- 14.7 months, the Kaplan-Meier method estimated 5-year disease-specific survival, and organ preservation was 86.3% and 96.2%, respectively. Twenty-five patients were alive without tracheostomy and tube feeding. We found that NACT is a potential method for facilitating tumor resection and TORS effectively de-escalated adjuvant irradiation with a satisfactory 5-year survival and functional outcomes.
