| Core Tip |
This retrospective study analyzed 53 hypopharyngeal cancer patients' data, focusing on diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, and quality-of-life assessments using Adult Comorbidity Evaluation-27, Karnofski Performance Status Scale, and European Organisation for Reasearch and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Head and Neck-35. Our findings discovered that most patients had advanced stage cancer, frequent smoking history, and comorbidities. Various treatments were applied, with mixed responses and a 30.18% follow-up rate. Late-stage diagnosis resulted in decreased capacity function; 83% had comorbidities. Organ conservation therapies were preferred by 43.39%, driven by similar survival rates and quality of life considerations. In conclusion, all the data we found was similar to the one found in literature, but with a higher degree of severity and a younger age at diagnosis compared to the most studies. |
