- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the scientific bibliographic production about the larynx cancer treatment in the last ten years. It was followed the Cochrane Handbook precepts, that involved the formulation of the question to investigate, the localization, the studies selection and the critical assessment of the articles. The articles published between 2002 and 2011 were shortlisted by the data base LILACS e ScIELO, using the laringect$ descriptor and in the data base PubMed, using the laringect* descriptor. It was analyzed the full texts, potentially relevant for the review, using a standardized form, when the following data were collected: goals, research design, characteristics of the research group, findings and discussion about the larynx cancer treatment. Initially it was identified 299 studies. After the tittles and abstracts review, consideration of inclusion and exclusion test, coherence check with the researched thematic and elimination of the studies which were at the same time in more than one data base, 72 were sure enough analyzed to be larynx related to the topic in its descriptors and/or in the abstracts. From this research it is possible to verify gaps and opportunities for the development of studies that verify standardized techniques of larynx cancer treatment with the increasing of analytical and interventional studies based on clinical trials randomized, considering especially guidelines as CONSORT, STROBE e GRADE for its planning and publication.
