Abstract
The treatment of 102 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus seen at the University of Virginia Medical Center from 1958 through 1977 is reviewed. Eightyseven cases form the basis for this report. Surgery alone, radiation alone and combination of the two were the treatment modalities utilized for the patients in this study. The overall 3 year, no evidence of disease determinate survival was (37%). Recent literature has suggested that preoperative radiation obscures tumor margins with a decrease in survivals as compared to postoperative irradiation. Though the number of patients in both the preoperative (27) and postoperative (7) groups are small, our data suggests similar survivals. In addition, when pathology was examined, no tumor margins were transected in the preoperative irradiation group and only 5123 patients had margins classified as close. The incidence of postoperative complications was not significantly difference between the combination therapy and surgery only groups. It is concluded that preoperative irradiation does not compromise the resection of adequate tumor margins nor significantly increase postoperative complications.
