Résumé
The identification of the site in head neck unknown primary (HNUP) tumour is of utmost importance to help select best treatment while decreasing treatment-related morbidity and mortality. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate that TORS may be a valuable tool in detecting primary tumour. Studies were systematically searched in the PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and CENTRAL electronic databases. A total of 12 selected studies (349 patients) were analyzed. The primary tumour detection and positive surgical margins rates were 70.8% and 19.4%, respectively. The rate of HPV-related tumour was 71.3%. The primary tumour was mainly in base of tongue (64%). In conclusion, TORS seems to be an effective surgical approach both in terms of detection of primary tumour site and in terms of therapeutic perspective for HNUP. In particular, a subset of HPV-related tumours might benefits all advantages from this surgical modality.
