Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Die Strategien zur Diagnostik und Behandlung von Parotistumoren scheinen in den deutschen HNO-Kliniken teilweise äußerst unterschiedlich zu sein. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, mittels einer deutschlandweiten Umfrage einen Überblick über den derzeitigen Stand zu gewinnen.

Material und Methoden

Allen deutschen HNO-Kliniken wurde postalisch ein standardisierter Fragebogen mit 19 Fragen zur Diagnostik und Behandlung von Parotistumoren zugesandt.

Ergebnisse

Die Gesamtrücksendequote betrug 128 von 170 versandten Fragebögen (75%). Es bestätigte sich die Annahme, dass Parotistumoren in deutschen HNO-Kliniken sehr uneinheitlich behandelt werden.

Schlussfolgerung

Auf der Grundlage der von uns erhobenen Daten und der ausstehenden Etablierung des klinischen Registers für Speicheldrüsenmalignome in Erlangen besteht Hoffnung, dass wichtige Fragen zur Behandlung von Speicheldrüsentumoren in naher Zukunft beantwortet werden können.

Abstract

Background

It seems that the choice of the treatment modalities for parotid gland tumors frequently depends on personal experience more than on evidence-based criteria. A nationwide survey was conducted to obtain an overview of current practice in German ENT hospitals.

Methods

A standardised questionnaire comprising 19 questions on the treatment and diagnostic methods for parotid gland tumors was sent to all ENT hospitals in Germany.

Results

The overall return rate of the questionnaires was 128 of 170 (75%). The results confirmed highly variable strategies for the treatment of parotid gland tumors in Germany.

Conclusion

On the basis of our survey and the upcoming establishment of a German database for salivary gland cancer in Erlangen, Germany, we hope to be able to clarify controversial topics on the treatment of parotid gland tumors in the near future.
