The data in this study suggest that radical surgical treatment offers the best chance for control of disease in patients with cancer of the hypopharynx. The cervical lymph nodes are at a very high risk for early involvement by metastatic disease. Elective treatment of cervical lymph nodes must be considered in initial treatment planning to obtain better control of regional disease.
本研究中的数据表明，根治性手术治疗为下咽癌患者控制疾病提供了最佳机会。颈部淋巴结早期受转移性疾病累及的风险非常高。在初始治疗计划中必须考虑对颈部淋巴结进行选择性治疗，以更好地控制局部疾病。
