Clinical relevance of endoscopic treatment for superficial pharyngeal cancer: feasibility of techniques corresponding to each location and long-term outcomes
Superficial pharyngeal cancers are being detected and treated using endoscopy with increasing frequency. We identify reliable treatments by adapting the method for each region of the pharynx. Procedure time was 51 minutes at location A where cancer develops most commonly. The 5-year survival rate was 84.1% and cause-specific survival was 100%. Endoscopic Treatment of superficial pharyngeal cancer is both feasible and beneficial.
