[Prognosis and therapy in case of hypopharynx carcinoma (author's transl)].
A report is given on 84 patients with hypopharynx carcinomas who were treated between 1960 and 1979 at the Radiotherapy Department of Würzburg. There is a high rate of recurrences after all therapy methods. 65 patients were only irradiated, ten patients were irradiated after and nine before surgical procedure. The five-year survival time of the patients irradiated only is 43% for the stages T1 and T2 and 4% for the stages T3 and T4, the statistical difference being significant. The problem of tumor localization and stage classification is treated and the therapy results are critically examined.
