Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma and hypopharyngeal carcino-ma on swallowing functions .Methods The data of 32 patients with supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma (laryngeal car-cinoma group) ,20 patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma (hypopharyngeal carcinoma group) and 81 cases of nor-mal persons of the same age (50~79) as a control (normal control group) who were diagnosed and treated in our department from 2015 December to 2017 February were evaluated by repeated saliva swallowing test ,watian drink-ing water test ,and endoscopic examination of swallowing .Results In the laryngeal carcinoma group ,we found swallowing dysfunctions in 17 cases(53 .13% ,17/32) .In the hypopharyngeal carcinoma group ,we found swallo-wing dysfunctions in 15 cases(75 .00% ,15/20) .For 81 cases of normal persons (normal control group) ,there were swallowing dysfunctions in 11 cases(13 .58% ,11/81) .The statistical analysis of the laryngeal carcinoma and hypo-pharyngeal carcinoma groups with abnormal swallowing functions were significantly higher than the normal control group (P<0 .001) .In the laryngeal carcinoma group ,according to the anatomic site ,the tumors were divided into two groups :from 21 cases of epiglottis and fringe group ,we found swallowing dysfunctions in 14 cases (66 .67% , 14/21);out of 11 cases of ventricular bands + laryngeal ventricle group , swallowing dysfunctions in 3 cases(27 .27% ,3/11) .The differences between the two groups were significant (P<0 .05) .In the hypopharyngeal carci-noma group ,out of 14 cases of pyriform sinus ,swallowing dysfunctions were in 10 cases(71 .43% ,10/14);out of 6 cases of posterior hypopharyngeal wall carcinoma ,swallowing dysfunctions in 5 cases(83 .33% ,5/6) .The differ-ences between the two groups were insignificant (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma and hypo-pharyngeal carcinoma all have effects on swallowing functions and increase the incidence of dysphagia .In the supra-glottic laryngeal carcinoma ,the primary tumor location has influence on the swallowing functions .
