CANCER OF THE HYPOPHARYNX: CLINICAL BEHAVIOUR, PROGNOSTIC FACTORS AND POSTOPERATIVE QUALITY OF LIFE
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In spite of advancements in surgical intervention and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for head and neck cancer, the prognosis for advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx (HPSSC) remains poor. The relatively poor prognosis and frequently advanced stage at diagnosis can be attributed to the relative lack of symptoms from early-stage disease in this region. Apart from that, these tumours are locally aggressive, with a propensity for submucosal spread, invasion into adjacent structures, and metastasis due to abundant lymphatic drainage.
