Description

The cases of 28 consecutive patients with T1, T2 hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC) treated in Kyoto University Hospital from 2000 to 2006 were reviewed. Radiotherapy (RT) was performed in 13 patients, surgery with conservation of the larynx (SCL) in 11 and laryngopharyngectomy with cervical esophagotomy in 4 patients. Local recurrence occurred in a patient of RT. There was the complication of persistent severe edema of the larynx in one patient with RT and serious swallowing disturbance in two patients with RT and SCL. Disease-specific 3- and 5-year survival rates were 96% and overall survival rate was 76%. One patient died of lymph node metastasis and three patients of other carcinomas. Both of RT and SCL showed satisfactory results as conservative treatment modalities for T1, T2 HPC. Problems were late complications after RT, swallowing disturbance due to RT or SCL and controls of regional lymph node metastasis and other carcinomas.
