Description

A total of 179 patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were treated between 1995 and 2002. Esophageal carcinoma was doubled in 36 of the patients. Eighty-nine patients were examined by esophagogastric endoscopy with iodine staining prior to the treatment of hypopharyngeal cancer, and esophageal cancers were detected in 15 of the patients. Thirteen of them had superficial carcinomas and two had advanced carcinomas. Six patients were treated by endoscopic mucosal resection and none of them died of esophageal cancer. These findings showed the necessity and usefulness of the examination by esophagogastric endoscopy with iodine staining prior to the treatment of hypopharyngeal cancer.<br>Esophageal cancers were developed in 4 patients by means of esophagogastric endoscopy with iodine staining following the treatment of hypopharyngeal cancer. Two of the patients had early carcinomas and both of them underwent screening for esophageal cancer within 2 years. The other two had advanced carcinomas and their intervals between screening were over 3 years. It is suggested that screening by means of esophagogastric endoscopy with iodine staining following the treatment of hypopharyngeal cancer should be done within 2 years.
