title: Hypopharyngeal carcinoma.
abstract: Early hypopharyngeal carcinoma is a rare but difficult problem to handle. Early metastases, local recurrences, and mediastinal extension are the most common causes of failure. Radical surgery, preserving as much function as possible, and aggressive postoperative radiation are the hallmarks of management.
