Abstract
Objective
The present study was aimed at describing a single-institution experience in
the curative treatment of patients diagnosed with locally advanced
hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
Materials and Methods
Data concerning all patients treated for locally advanced hypopharyngeal
squamous cell carcinoma between January 2006 and June 2012 were
reviewed.
Results
A total of 144 patients were included in the present study. The median
follow-up period was 36.6 months. Median survival was 26 months, and 2-year
and 5-year overall survival rates were, 51% and 30.5%, respectively. Median
recurrence-free survival was 18 months and 2-year and 5-year recurrence-free
survival rates were 42.8% and 28.5%, respectively.
Conclusion
The outcomes in the present series are in line with the literature.
