Popis: A clinical study was performed of 83 patients with hypopharyngeal cancer treated in the Sapporo Medical University Hospital from 1982 to 1995. Five-year cumulative survival rate was 34.9% in the whole group and 37.2% in the radical surgical and/or radiation treatment group. In the radiation treatment group, the patients with T1, T2, N0 or N1 stage disease, especially those whose original disease responded almost completely to 40Gy irradiation, showed high tumor control rates following full-dose irradiation with or without radical neck dissection. In the radical surgery group, the patients with T4 or N2 stage disease showed better prognosis than those in the radiation group. However, among the patients with N3 lymph node metastases, there were no long-term survivors in either the radiation or the surgery groups.
