Abstract
Background and purpose: Bioselection with induction chemotherapy in larynx cancer is associated with excellent larynx preservation and disease-specific survival but requires visual inspection of the primary tumor. We retrospectively compare clinical and imaging response in bioselected patients to develop predictive models of surgeon-assessed response (SR), laryngectomy-free survival (LFS), and overall survival (OS) in bioselected patients. Materials and methods: In a secondary analysis of patients on two single-institution bioselection trials, model building used a regularized regression model (elastic-net) and applied nested cross-validation. Logistic regression-based model was used to predict SR and Cox proportional hazard-based models were used to predict LFS and OS. Results: In 115 patients with a median age of 57 years, most patients had supraglottic tumors (73.0%) and T3/T4 disease (94.8%). Definitive treatment was chemoradiation in 76.5% and laryngectomy in 23.5%. Change in primary tumor (OR = 5.78, p
