Endoscopic Resection of Hypopharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hypopharyngeal cancers are often diagnosed at an advanced stage and have a poor prognosis. Even when they are diagnosed at an operable stage, surgery often results in substantial morbidity and decreased patients' quality of life. Although the endoscopic diagnosis of early hypopharyngeal cancer is difficult, recent developments in advanced imaging endoscopy have enabled easier diagnosis of these lesions. Endoscopic resection of early hypopharyngeal cancer is a potential minimally invasive treatment that can preserve the function and quality of life of patients. Reports of this procedure are limited, however. We report a case of hypopharygeal cancer treated with endoscopic resection.

Successful treatment for hypopharyngeal cancer in a patient with superficial esophageal cancer by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
yngectomy for laryngeal cancer 3 years earlier was diagnosed with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In addition, a slightly elevated le− sion (1.6 cm) was detected synchronously in the posterior wall of the hypopharynx (l" Fig. 1 a). Using a narrow−band ima− ging (NBI) system with magnifying en− doscopy (GIF TYPE H260Z; Olympus), this lesion displayed a clearly demarcated b...

Background and Objective: Esophageal cancer especially squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common gastro intestinal malignancies in north part of Iran (Khorasan). The standard treatment for esophageal cancer is surgical resection, but its outcome remains poor. Then, the oncologists try to treat this cancer with sandwich protocols especially neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy. Sever...
متن کاملSignificance of endoscopic screening and endoscopic resection for esophageal cancer in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer.
OBJECTIVE The efficacy of endoscopic screening for esophageal cancer in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer remains controversial and its impact on prognosis has not been adequately discussed. We studied the use of endoscopic screening to detect esophageal cancer in hypopharyngeal cancer patients by analyzing the incidence, stage and prognosis. METHODS We included 64 patients with hypopharyng...

متن کاملSeven-Year Survival of a Patient with Primary Tracheal Squamous Cell Carcinoma after Surgery: A Case Report
The primary tracheal cancers are very rare, and squamous cell carcinoma is its most common form, especially in smokers. Due to the late presentation of symptoms, these tumors are usually diagnosed too late, and thus, they have poor survival. The gold standard protocol for these cancers is surgical excision and adjuvant radiotherapy. Primary radiotherapy is applied for the advanced and inoperabl...
