Treatment

The treatments of hypopharyngeal cancers include surgical excision, radiotherapy, and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy.

Earlier-stage cancers ：

are treated with operation or radiotherapy alone. 

Advanced hypopharyngeal cancer:

Combined surgery and postoperative radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been one of the standard treatments for patients with advanced hypopharyngeal cancer. Surgery for advanced hypopharyngeal cancer may impair the swallowing and speech functions and, therefore, may have a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life.

Organ preservation is achieved in patients with advanced cancer via concurrent chemoradiotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy, but not all patients with advanced hypopharyngeal cancer are indicated for aforementioned treatment modality.
