Description

The medical records of 133 previously untreated patients with stage III or IV hypopharyngeal cancer between 1999 and 2008 were reviewed. All patients underwent resection for the primary tumor and at least ipsilateral neck dissection as a part of the initial treatment. The pathological sites of cervical metastasis and cervical recurrence were almost all found to be level II to IV. The ratio of N positivity for level I was unusual. Metastatic potential in level V was correlated with the number of clinically cervical metastases. It might be reasonable to preserve level I for all patients and level V for N0, 1, and 2a patients.
