Surgical salvage in postcricoid cancer

Abstract: SummaryTwenty-one total pharyngo-laryngectomies have been performed at the Manchester Royal Infirmary between 1968 and 1982. A variety of methods of repair have been used, gastric transposition being the most common. Seventeen patients had received previous radiotherapy to the area, fourteen radical, two palliative and one to a supraglottic carcinoma 12 years before. Four had tumours judged to be too large to benefit from radiotherapy.Of the patients who received radiotherapy, fourteen had a good response with… Show more

“…19 In the series of 72 patients with resected tumors of the pharyngoesophageal junction reported by Collard et al, 11 the 5-year survival rate was 8% after salvage surgery, as opposed to 26% after primary surgery. Salvage surgery after failure of radiochemotherapy must be avoided, because the survival rate is three times worse than that after primary surgery.…”

“…Malignancy of the posterior cricoid is rare, accounting for 1.8% of all hypopharyngeal cancers in the NCDB. Studies addressing posterior cricoid SCC treatment largely have been conducted outside the United States, mostly during the 1980s when management was different from today . More recent literature from within the United States has focused on hypopharyngeal carcinoma as a whole.…”

“…Posterior cricoid squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is rare, accounting for only 2% to 13% of cancers within the hypopharynx . The majority of literature on the subject comes from over two decades ago, when treatment paradigms were much different from today . Furthermore, these reports took place in large academic institutions outside the United States.…”

“…9 All our cases were of squamous cell type, which has been reported in the literature to be the most common pathological diagnosis for this region. 10 The choices to be made in the management of hypopharyngeal cancer are whether to treat palliatively or radically; whether to use primary radiation therapy or primary surgery; and, if the latter, whether to add radiotherapy either pre-or postoperatively. 10 In the sample studied, a lot of patients were too advanced or too unfit, so that only palliative measures were taken.…”

“…1,3,4,[7][8][9][10][11][12] The stage at time of presentation, the patient's general condition (as these patients usually present with weight loss and malnutrition secondary to prolonged dysphagia), 12 any co-existing diseases and patient preferences, which indicated the treatment modality, are all taken into consideration when determining the prognosis. …”
