This study aims to evaluate the efficacy chemoradiotherapy and surgical treatment in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer.
Between January 2003 and July 2009, 48 patients (31 males, 17 females; mean age 55.5±13.4 years; range 29 to 84 years) who were diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were assigned into surgery (n=17) and chemoradiotherapy (n=31) groups.
The overall survival of the patients with advanced disease in the surgery group was statistically higher than those in the chemoradiotherapy group. The recurrence rate of the patients was 35.3% in the surgery group, whereas it was 41.4% in the chemoradiotherapy group.
Our study results indicated that the survival rates were higher in the surgery group. On the other hand, chemoradiotherapy had the advantage of laryngeal preservation.
本研究旨在评估下咽癌患者放化疗及手术治疗的疗效。
回顾性评估2003年1月至2009年7月间48例被诊断为下咽癌的患者(31例男性,17例女性;平均年龄55.5±13.4岁;年龄范围29至84岁)。患者被分为手术组(n = 17)和放化疗组(n = 31)。
手术组晚期疾病患者的总生存率在统计学上高于放化疗组。手术组患者的复发率为35.3%,而放化疗组为41.4%。
我们的研究结果表明手术组的生存率更高。另一方面,放化疗具有保留喉功能的优势。
