Survival Benefit of Adjuvant Radiotherapy After Surgery in Patients With <scp>T1</scp> ‐ <scp>2N1M0</scp> Hypopharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Dual‐Cohort Analysis of <scp>SEER</scp> and Institutional Data
There was no significant difference in OS in patients with T2-3N0-3 M0 or T1N1-3 M0 HPSCC according to whether or not they underwent surgery as first-line treatment. Surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy was associated with a more favorable prognosis than surgery alone in patients with T1-2N1M0 HPSCC.
