Outcomes of A Novel Treatment Decision of Patients With Esophageal and Head and Neck Carcinoma Synchronously

Overview

To summarise the outcomes of a treatment decision of patients with superficial esophageal carcinoma synchronously associated with head and neck cancer, that is endoscopic treatment for the superficial esophageal carcinoma plus surgery of the head and neck carcinoma.

As a same risk factor, such as heavy drinking and smoking, patients with head and ncek carcinoma are always suffering from synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Previous studies illustrated that many patients with multiple esophageal lesions of early stage. In clinical practice, those patients are treated by extensive surgical resection of total pharyngo-laryngo-esophagectomy plus free jejunum interposition or gastric tube, then followed by chemoradiotherapy as standard treatment, resulting in a low quality of life for the patients, and due to the above mentioned disadvantages, many patients with synchronous superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and head and neck carcinoma refused the surgery treatment. Our aims is to summarize the the outcomes of endoscopic treatment for the superficial esophageal carcinoma plus surgery of head and neck carcinoma.
