OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to present the treatment results and to identify possible prognostic indicators in @entity1 with @entity957 ( @entity957 ). STUDY DESIGN: A consecutively admitted series of 110 @entity1 was analyzed retrospectively. The female male ratio was 29: 81. The sites of the @entity5 were: pyriform fossa (72%), postcricoid area (18%), and posterior pharyngeal wall (10%). T-status was T1: 15%, T2: 26%, T3: 28%, and T4: 37%. N-status was N0: 27%, N1: 33%, N2: 26%, and N3: 14%. METHODS: One hundred three @entity1 (94%) were treated with curative intent. Two of these received primary surgery; the remaining 101 @entity1 had primary radiotherapy. Seven @entity1 (6%) received no or only palliative treatment. RESULTS: The 5- and 10-year estimates for @entity1349 ( @entity1349 ) were 16% and 7% and @entity66 ( @entity66 ) 28% and 23%, respectively. In the group of @entity1 treated with curatively intended radiotherapy, 71 recurrences were observed at the time of analysis. The 5- and 10-year RFS estimates were both 17%. The values for @entity1349 were 18% and 8% and the values for @entity66 were 31% and 26%, respectively. Univariate survival analyses of age, sex, T-status, N-status, and @entity2802 staging did not show any significant influence on survival. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the survival of @entity1 with @entity957 treated with primary radiotherapy and salvage surgery is poor and that other treatment modalities have to be considered.
