This is the first study to explore the detection modality of oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). In this study, 31.4% of pharyngeal SCCs (15.4% of oropharyngeal SCCs and 42.3% of hypopharyngeal SCCs) were detected by gastrointestinal endoscopy. The clinical characteristics of the lesions detected by gastrointestinal endoscopy include a higher proportion of asymptomatic cases, cTis-1 cases, cases with no lymph node metastasis and cases treated by endoscopic laryngo-pharyngeal surgery/endoscopic submucosal dissection, leading to a better prognosis. This study highlights the important role of gastrointestinal endoscopy in the early detection and treatment of SCC in the otolaryngology field. |
