Abstract

The present study aimed to identify a feasible treatment strategy for hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) with non‑extensive invasion of the thyroid and/or cricoid cartilage. Between June 2008 and December 2014, patients with previously untreated HPC invading cartilage who had received either open partial laryngectomy (OPL) with tube‑free tracheostomy or total laryngectomy (TL) with permanent tracheostomy and an artificial larynx (pneumatic tube) were retrospectively reviewed. The patients with extensive cartilage invasion and those with inoperable or T4b disease were excluded for OPL. Outcomes and quality of life were compared between the two treatment modalities. A total of 44 patients were included. The survival rates, complications, and Dysphagia Score were compared between the two treatment modalities. The outcome of the Voice Handicap Index (P=0.032), understandability of speech (P<0.001), normalcy of diet (P=0.041), senses (P=0.006), speech (P<0.001) and social contact (P=0.004) were significantly improved in the group receiving OPL compared with the group receiving TL. Therefore, OPL with tube‑free tracheostomy may be a feasible option to treat patients with HPC with non‑extensive invasion of the thyroid and/or cricoid cartilage.
