Hypopharyngeal carcinoma is an aggressive cancer with a guarded prognosis. Results of 64 patients with-hypopharyngeal cancer, 59 of whom were in stage III or IV, undergoing curative therapy during a six-year period were analysed. A combined modality resulted in a 62% and 38.4% 2-year disease free survival incases with pyriform sinus and postcricoid tumours respectively. Results of radiotherapy failed salvage surgery were much poorer for either site.
下咽癌是一种侵袭性癌症，预后不佳。对64例下咽癌患者的结果进行了分析，其中59例处于III期或IV期，这些患者在六年期间接受了根治性治疗。对于梨状窦肿瘤和环状软骨后肿瘤患者，综合治疗的2年无病生存率分别为62%和38.4%。对于这两个部位中的任何一个，放疗失败后的挽救性手术结果都要差得多。
