Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records of 62 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx, Stage III or IV (AJCC, 1992), were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: This approach appeared to be as effective as radical surgery with postoperative radiation therapy without comprising survival. To improve the cure rates, we need to develop better strategies to increase CR rates with chemotherapy and determine the best treatment option for patients who are partially or nonresponsive to chemotherapy.
