Abstract:
In UICC stage IV hypopharnygeal cancer, a radical approach with circular laryngo-pharyngo-esophagectomy with ipsilateral radical neck dissection and contralateral modified radical neck dissection, reconstruction of the pharynx defect with a fundus-rotation-gastroplasty, and postoperative high-dose cervical radiotherapy improves long term survival and maintains a good quality of life.
