Abstract

Cancer of the hypopharynx is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis irrespective of the therapeutic regimen instituted. Controversy centers around the extent of surgery required to adequately ablate the advanced cancers, particularly related to the role of esophagectomy. A literature review and analysis of 43 cases of advanced hypopharyngeal cancer treated with total laryngopharyngectomy and partial esophagectomy support the argument that in carefully selected situations, a partial esophagectomy is oncologically an adequate operation.
