  • Title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus.
    Author: Razack MS, Sako K, Kalnins I.
    Journal: Head Neck Surg; 1978; 1(1):31-4. PubMed ID: 756393.
    Abstract:
    At the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, 111 patients were treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus over a 15-year period. Treatment modalities included surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of both. A retrospective study was carried out to determine how these treatments, used singly or in combination, affected the cure rate. TNM clinical staging and recurrence patterns were studied, and a high tendency for distant metastases was documented. The five-year survival figure in this study was 29% (28/97).
