[Some problems of treatment of hypopharyngeal and cervical esophageal cancer]
Abstract:
201 cases with hypopharyngeal and cervical esophageal cancer undergoing treatments at our hospital from 1969 to 1985 were analysed from the clinical viewpoints. 112 out of 201 cancer cases received radical operations and the resultant 5 year survival rate was 33.5%. Concerning the resection of primary tumor lesions, both procedures of pharyngo-laryngo-esophagectomy and radical neck dissection were performed for the cases with hypopharyngeal cancer. For cervical esophageal cancer, the operative procedures include partial resection of sternum and upper mediastinal dissection. As for reconstruction of cervical esophagus, we used mainly four materials such as gastric tube, free jejunum, free forearm flap and deltopectoral flap.
