Disease relevance of Hypopharynx

 

High impact information on Hypopharynx

  • Solid food entered and traversed the pharynx at the midline, whereas liquid bolus was split around the larynx and rejoined in the hypopharynx [6].
  • MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical records from 1987 to 1999 of 161 patients with head and neck SCC (oral cavity, 80 patients; larynx, 50; hypopharynx, 19; oropharynx, 12) who underwent preoperative radiation therapy and surgery were retrospectively reviewed [7].
  • The preservation of drug sensitivity and resistance under the conditions of our organoid culture assay (OCA) was demonstrated by investigating 3 strains of a human hypopharynx carcinoma which differed by different sensitivity to cisplatin in in vivo conditions [8].
  • The increased expression of hPGFS in SCCHN was primarily detected in SCC of larynx and hypopharynx (59%, P<0.05) [9].
  • RESULTS: In total, 54 of 74 primary tumors were found to be Hsp70 membrane-positive (73%); tongue/mouth, 21 of 24 (88%); oropharynx, 13 of 20 (65%); hypopharynx, 3 of 6 (50%); larynx, 8 of 11 (73%); trachea 1 of 2 (50%); esophagus, 4 of 5 (80%); lymph node metastases, 4 of 6 (67%) [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Hypopharynx

 

Biological context of Hypopharynx

 

Anatomical context of Hypopharynx

  • Critique of "adjuvant intravenous methotrexate of definitive radiotherapy alone for advanced squamous cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, supraglottic larynx or hypopharynx. Concluding report of an RTOG randomized trial on 638 patients" [19].
  • For larynx and hypopharynx, excluding T1-T2 true vocal cord, there was a significant effect of total dose and fraction size [20].
  • The upper (proximal) section was adjacent to the base of the tongue at the level of C1 or C2 vertebrae pushing the tongue forward and its lower (distal) end was in the inferior recesses of the hypopharynx at the levels of C4 to T1 vertebrae [21].
  • BACKGROUND: Pharyngolaryngo-esophagectomy and pharyngogastric anastomosis (PLO & PGA) is one of the surgical options in the management of tumors arising from the hypopharynx and cervical esophagus [22].
  • Computed tomography (CT) of the cervical spine was obtained immediately following metrizamide myelography; it demonstrated a soft-tissue mass in the enlarged intervertebral foramen that extended posteriorly to compress the spinal cord and anteriorly to compress the hypopharynx [23].
 

Associations of Hypopharynx with chemical compounds

  • Blood concentration of lipid-bound sialic acid (LBSA), prostaglandin E (PGE) and histamine were determined in 37 patients with carcinoma of hypopharynx and larynx (supraglottic and glottic), in 12 non-cancer patients and in 10 healthy subjects [24].
  • The upper oesophageal sphincter fails to protect the hypopharynx under general anaesthesia even if patients do not receive a muscle relaxant [3].
  • In the CSM tumour this treatment modality caused a significantly (P < 0.05) higher growth delay as compared with the results obtained with 5-FU alone, whereas in the hypopharynx carcinoma the additional application of thymidine caused no significant change in tumor growth [25].
  • METHODS: We studied the ability of the PLMA to isolate the airway in 103 anaesthetized adults who were breathing spontaneously or given neuromuscular blocking agents, by filling the hypopharynx with methylene blue-dyed saline introduced down the drainage tube once the mask was in place [26].
  • Endoscopic diagnosis of thermal injury to the laryngopharynx after crack cocaine ingestion [27].
