“…Not all patients with hypopharyngeal cancer undergo radical treatment. Although there are many reports concerning each radical treatment (Pingree et al 1987;Ho et al 1993;Frank et al 1994;Spector et al 1995;Axon et al 1997;Eckel et al 2001;Godballe et al 2002;Barzan et al 2002), general results of the treatment of hypopharyngeal cancer are unclear. Therefore we analyzed the results of treatment in 74 patients with hypopharyngeal cancer retrospectively to clarify each problem, and herein discuss appropriate treatment strategies for future prospect.…”

“…Systemically disseminated disease is rarely seen early in patients with hypopbaryngeal cancer, so locoregional control is the major determinant for overall survival [11]. The extent of resection (i.e., the need for esophagectomy) and the mode of surgical reconstruction have been the main focuses of discussion.…”

“…The extent of resection (i.e., the need for esophagectomy) and the mode of surgical reconstruction have been the main focuses of discussion. Some advocate total esophagectomy [5,7] to resect frequent secondary lesions in the esophagus, whereas others avoid esophagectomy at the cost of radicality because of the associated high morbidity in the form of anastomotic failure seen with pharyngointestinal anastomoses [11]. Controversy centers not only on the extent of the resection but also on the organ used to reconstruct the alimentary tract.…”
