“…In particular, all 7 cases of glottic cancer without complaints of hoarseness detected by internists performing gastroscopic or bronchoscopic examination were diagnosed at stage I. Tobacco and alcohol represent well‐known risk factors for the development of malignancies in the head and neck region and upper gastrointestinal tract . The Japan Tobacco Company reported smoking prevalence of 32.2% for men and 10.5% for women in Japan, and 81.8% of patients with glottic cancer in the present study were smokers.…”

Patients with glottic cancer without complaints of hoarseness were diagnosed at an earlier stage than those with hoarseness. Accumulation of more cases may lead to better survival of patients with glottic cancer without hoarseness compared to those with hoarseness. Checking the larynx of patients without hoarseness or encouraging internists to check the larynx when performing gastroscopic or respiratory examinations may lead to improvement of glottic cancer prognosis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In our study, the percentage of smokers was higher among patients with glottic cancer without complaints of hoarseness than patients with glottic cancer with hoarseness.…”

“…3,8,9,[12][13][14][15][16]22 In addition, metachronous esophageal cancers have been identified at different intervals, and the risk does not seem to decrease with time. 29 Therefore, according to recent guidelines, at least a single endoscopy may be indicated to search for esophageal cancer in patients with HNSCC.…”

“…1 Alcohol and tobacco consumption are the main predisposing factors for the development of aerodigestive squamous cell cancer type, according to the theory of field cancerization. [2][3][4] In addition, recent epidemiological studies have indicated a possible carcinogenetic relationship between human papilloma virus infection and oropharingeal 5 and esophageal cancer, 6 at least in regions with a high incidence of esophageal carcinoma, such as certain Chinese geographic areas. 6,7 The most relevant factor associated with the occurrence of esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is the history of primary head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC).…”
