Surgical treatment of post-cricoid carcinoma.

The association between webs, iron and post-cricoid carcinoma.

The association of iron deficiency anaemia, postcricoid webs and carcinoma is controversial. The main findings in a recent study which re-examined this problem are presented here. It was shown that the majority of patients with a post-cricoid web have evidence of iron deficiency but that only about 10°O of patients with iron deficiency develop post-cricoid webs. Factors which might be important...
