General Treatment Recommendations Based On
Hypopharynx Tumor Stage*
*Perez & Brady's Principles and Practice of RadiationOncology
Single Modality:
• – Surgery or RT
Choice depends on
• – Tumor: site, extension
• – Patient: preference, comorbidities
• – Expertise of the multidisciplinary team, available resources
 Equally effective: however no randomised trials for surgery vs. RT.
 Each modality can salvage the other if local recurrence.
EARLY STAGE (I-II)(T1-T2, N0)
ADVANCED STAGE:(III/IV)
T1-2, N1-3 / T3-4, N0-N+
Multi Modality:
• Radiotherapy with altered fractionation schedules
• Radiotherapy with chemotherapy
• Radiotherapy with biological therapy
• Neoadjuvant chemotherapy f/b surgery
• Surgery f/b RT/CT-RT
Choice depends on
• Tumor: site, extension
• Patient: preference, comorbidities
• Expertise of the multidisciplinary team, available resources
Benefits of RT over surgery
• Probability of functional morbidity or cosmetic defects is reduced.
• Risk of a major postoperative complication is avoided
• Elective neck RT can be included with little added morbidity.
• Surgical salvage of RT failure is supposed to have better outcome than the RT salvage
of a surgical failure.
Indications for primary radiotherapy
• small sized tumor
• larynx/voice preservation
• those who refuse surgery

• Patients with stage III or IV SCC
(n=1076) were randomized to 4
treatment arms:
2000
(1) Standard fractionation
70 Gy/35 daily fractions/7 weeks
(2) Hyper fractionation
81.6 Gy/68 twice-daily fractions/7 weeks
(3) Accelerated fractionation with split
67.2Gy(1.6bid)/42 fractions/6 weeks
with a 2-week rest after 38.4 Gy
(4) Accelerated fractionation with concomitant boost
72 Gy/42 fractions/6 weeks.(1.8Gy/f with 1.5 Gy /f boost on last 12 fractions)
RTO 90-03 Results: at 2years
• LRC:
• significant improvement in 2 yr locoregional control
for the hyper fractionation and concomitant boost arms
.
• DFS:
• trend toward improved disease-free survival (p = 0.067
and p = 0.054 respectively for the hyper fractionation
and concomitant boost arms
• OS: difference in overall survival was not significant.
• TOXICITY:
• altered fractionation regimens were associated with
higher incidence of grade 3 or worse acute mucosal
toxicity, but no significant difference in overall toxicity
at 2 years following completion of treatment.

RESULTS OF MARCH META-ANALYSIS:
There was a significant survival benefit in altered
fractionation.(3.4%at 5 years)
There was a benefit on locoregional control in favour of altered
fractionation versus conventional radiotherapy (6·4% at 5 years;
p<0·0001
The benefit was significantly higher in the youngest patients
Interpretation
Altered fractionated radiotherapy improves survival in patients with
head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Comparison of the different
types of altered radiotherapy suggests that hyperfractionation has the
greatest benefit

EORTC 24891
EORTC trial 24891 compared PF (cisplatin and 5-FU) induction chemotherapy followed
by radiation therapy (RT) versus total laryngectomy, radical neck dissection, and
postoperative RT in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer
Role of NACT for larynx preservation
NACT-RT Vs Surgery-RT
• Treatment failures occurred at approximately
the same frequencies in both arms.
• Fewer failures at distant sites in the induction-
chemotherapy arm
• The median duration of survival was 25
months in the immediate-surgery arm and 44
months in the induction-chemotherapy arm
• The 3- and 5-year estimates of retaining a
functional larynx in patients treated in the
induction chemotherapy arm were 42% and
35% respectively.

CTRT VS RT ALONE
which one is better in unresectable HNSCC?
ARM C
CTRT of 2 Gy/d, was split between the first CT
course (30 Gy) & third CT course (30 to 40 Gy).
A total dose of 60 to 70 Gy was given
The radiation therapy break was planned to
allow for the possibility of surgical resection in
those patients rendered resectable after the first
two courses of chemotherapy and the first
30 Gy of radiation.
Patients who had achieved a complete response
after this induction or who remained
unresectable proceeded, without surgery, to
complete chemoradiotherapy.

. Median follow-up was 5·2 years
 Accelerated radiotherapy-chemotherapy offered no PFS benefit compared with conventional
chemoradiotherapy or very accelerated radiotherapy
 conventional chemoradiotherapy improved PFS compared with very accelerated chemoradiotherapy
 More patients in the very accelerated radiotherapy group had RTOG grade 3-4 acute mucosal
toxicity (226 [84%] of 268 patients) compared with accelerated radiotherapy-chemotherapy (205
[76%] of 271 patients) or conventional chemoradiotherapy (180 [69%] of 262; p=0·0001).
 (60%) of patients in the conventional chemoradiotherapy group, (64%) of patients in the
accelerated radiotherapy-chemotherapy group, and (70%) of patients in the very accelerated
radiotherapy group were intubated with feeding tubes during treatment (p=0·045).
Results of GORTEC 9902
CONCLUSION OF GORTEC 9902
1. Chemotherapy has a substantial treatment effect given concomitantly with
radiotherapy.
• 2. Acceleration of radiotherapy cannot compensate for the absence of
chemotherapy.
• 3. Acceleration of radiotherapy is probably not beneficial in concomitant chemo-
radiotherapy schedules.

RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
• CTV for curative radiotherapy T1/T2 N0
• GTV is defined using
• Endoscopy
• EUA reports and diagrams
• Diagnostic imaging
• There is no evidence on which to base GTV-CTV margins at the primary site but
submucosal spread is common and can extend at least 10 mm from the GTV
• GTV is grown by a 10mm axial margin and a 15 mm longitudinal margin to create
a CTV70
• Edited to take account of patterns of spread and natural barriers to tumour progression (e.g.
bone)
• CTV70 is also edited to include adjacent lymph nodes (usually level III but occasionally part of
levels II and IV) on the same axial slices as the CTV70
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
• For lateral pyriform fossa tumours these high risk nodes will be ipsilateral
• For other hypopharyngeal tumours they will be bilateral
• The CTV44 is edited to include other lymph node groups at risk of
micrometastases
• For lateral pyriform fossa tumours this will include ipsilateral levels II–IV
• For other tumours with bilateral lymph node drainage, bilateral nodes are
include
• Retropharyngeal nodes are included for tumours involving the posterior
pharyngeal wall
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
• Target volume definition
• CTV for curative radiotherapy T1/T2 N0
• The GTV is defined using endoscopy, EUA reports and diagrams, and diagnostic imaging
• There is no evidence on which to base GTV-CTV margins at the primary site but
submucosal spread is common and can extend at least 10 mm from the GTV
• GTV is grown by a 10mm axial margin and a 15 mm longitudinal margin to create a
CTV70
• This is then edited to take account of patterns of spread and natural barriers to tumour
progression (e.g. bone)
• The CTV70 is also edited to include adjacent lymph nodes (usually level III but
occasionally part of levels II and IV) on the same axial slices as the CTV70
• For lateral pyriform fossa tumours these high risk nodes will be ipsilateral; for other
hypopharyngeal tumours they will be bilateral
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
• CTV for curative radiotherapy T 3/4 or N
• Post induction chemotherapy
• CTVs should therefore be based on the initial pattern of disease as well as on
the residual tumour seen on the planning CT
• GTV should be defined on the planning CT from the residual volume but
should include any nodes that were involved at diagnosis even if they are not
now enlarged
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
• To allow for submucosal spread, the GTV is enlarged by 10 mm axially and
15mm longitudinally to form the CTV70
• The CTV70 is edited to take account of natural barriers to tumour
progression and to include all sites of primary disease at presentation.
• For example
• A pyriform fossa cancer invading the tongue base at diagnosis may respond to
induction chemotherapy to leave residual tumour in the pyriform fossa alone
• The tongue base should be included in the CTV70
• CTV is further edited to include sites of high risk nodal disease
• For N disease the CTV70 includes level II–IV nodes adjacent to the primary
GTV, any involved nodes at other levels and any nodes in between
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
• CTV for adjuvant radiotherapy
• After careful discussion with the surgeon and pathologist, the CTV60 is
defined as sites of possible residual microscopic disease
• The CTV60 should include the margins of resection and sites of any dissected
nodal levels where there was tumour.
• Sites of positive resection margins or where there was extracapsular nodal
spread should be further defined as CTV66.
• When the patient has had a laryngectomy
• Stoma should be included in the CTV60 if subglottic extension was present or if the
surgeon is concerned about the risk of parastomal recurrence
RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
• CTV for adjuvant radiotherapy
• If a clinically node negative tumour has been excised with an elective neck
dissection and there is unexpected tumour in the neck nodes, a CTV44 can
also be defined
• This should ensure that the nodal levels have been treated either surgically or
with radiotherapy
• For example
• If surgery for a T2 pyriform fossa tumour included an ipsilateral level II–IV
neck dissection at which multiple involved nodes were identified (pN2b), the
CTV44 should include ipsilateral levels Ib and V, contralateral levels II–IV and
bilateral retropharyngeal nodes
RT Technique of Carcinoma
Larynx
RT Technique of Carcinoma Larynx
• Target volume definition
• T1 N0 glottic larynx
• Conventional treatment with small lateral beams is usually successful and well
tolerated
• Records and pictures from nasal endoscopy and EUA should be available as small
primary vocal cord tumours are difficult to see on CT scan
• GTV is defined as the site of primary tumour
• CTV is the glottic larynx with a border at least 10 mm superiorly and inferiorly from
the GTV.
• Axially the bilateral mucosal laryngeal surface is included
• PTV is CTV with a 3–5 mm isotropic margin depending on local assessment of
random and systematic errors assuming tumour movement is minimal
• Motion can be assessed by watching laryngeal movement with fluoroscopy in the
simulator to ensure that the vocal cords remain within the PTV on swallowing
RT Technique of Carcinoma Larynx
• In practice, it can be easier to define
• Superior (mid-body of hyoid)
• Inferior (inferior margin of cricoid) beam borders
• On the lateral DRR from the planning CT scan and then check on the
axial slices that the whole glottic larynx is included within the CTV,
assuming a 5 mm penumbra from PTV to beam edge
• Using smaller beams defined solely on the basis of GTV-CTV-PTV
definition has little therapeutic advantage and increases the
possibility of a geographical tumour miss due to intra-fractional
motion from swallowing

Hypopharynxmanagement

  • 1. Management of carcinoma hypopharynx & Larynx Dr Dinesh K Singh Senior Resident, BMCHRC
  • 2. Topics to be covered: • NCCN guidelines • Treatment overview • Evidence based treatment • RT Technique  Surgery  Radiotherapy  Chemotherapy  Biological therapy
  • 3. TNM STAGING- AJCC 7TH edition (2010)* T1: Tumour limited to one subsite of hypopharynx and ≤ 2 cm in greatest dimension. T2: Tumour invades more than one subsite or adjacent site or measures >2cm but ≤ 4 cm without fixation of hemilarynx. T3: Tumours > 4 cm or with fixation of hemilarynx or extension into esophagus T4a: Tumor invades thyroid/cricoid cartilage, hyoid bone, thyroid gland, central compartment of soft tissue. T4b: Tumor invades prevertebral fascia, encases the carotid artery or involves mediastinal structures. *Edge SB, Byrd DR, Compton CC, et al. AJCC cancer staging handbook, 7th ed. New York: Springer, 2010.*
  • 4. TNM STAGING- AJCC 7TH edition (2010)* • N0: No regional LN • N1: Single ipsilateral LN ≤ 3cm • N2a: Single ipsilateral LN 3-6cm b: Multiple ipsilateral LNs ≤ 6cm c: Bilateral or contralateral LNs ≤ 6cm • N3: Any LN more than 6cm • M stage: • Mx- cannot be assessed, • M0- no distant metastasis, • M1- distant metastasis

  • 15. General Treatment Recommendations Based On Hypopharynx Tumor Stage* *Perez & Brady's Principles and Practice of RadiationOncology
  • 16. Single Modality: • – Surgery or RT Choice depends on • – Tumor: site, extension • – Patient: preference, comorbidities • – Expertise of the multidisciplinary team, available resources  Equally effective: however no randomised trials for surgery vs. RT.  Each modality can salvage the other if local recurrence. EARLY STAGE (I-II)(T1-T2, N0)
  • 17. ADVANCED STAGE:(III/IV) T1-2, N1-3 / T3-4, N0-N+ Multi Modality: • Radiotherapy with altered fractionation schedules • Radiotherapy with chemotherapy • Radiotherapy with biological therapy • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy f/b surgery • Surgery f/b RT/CT-RT Choice depends on • Tumor: site, extension • Patient: preference, comorbidities • Expertise of the multidisciplinary team, available resources

  • 93. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx • For lateral pyriform fossa tumours these high risk nodes will be ipsilateral • For other hypopharyngeal tumours they will be bilateral • The CTV44 is edited to include other lymph node groups at risk of micrometastases • For lateral pyriform fossa tumours this will include ipsilateral levels II–IV • For other tumours with bilateral lymph node drainage, bilateral nodes are include • Retropharyngeal nodes are included for tumours involving the posterior pharyngeal wall
  • 94. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx • Target volume definition • CTV for curative radiotherapy T1/T2 N0 • The GTV is defined using endoscopy, EUA reports and diagrams, and diagnostic imaging • There is no evidence on which to base GTV-CTV margins at the primary site but submucosal spread is common and can extend at least 10 mm from the GTV • GTV is grown by a 10mm axial margin and a 15 mm longitudinal margin to create a CTV70 • This is then edited to take account of patterns of spread and natural barriers to tumour progression (e.g. bone) • The CTV70 is also edited to include adjacent lymph nodes (usually level III but occasionally part of levels II and IV) on the same axial slices as the CTV70 • For lateral pyriform fossa tumours these high risk nodes will be ipsilateral; for other hypopharyngeal tumours they will be bilateral
  • 95. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
  • 96. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx • CTV for curative radiotherapy T 3/4 or N • Post induction chemotherapy • CTVs should therefore be based on the initial pattern of disease as well as on the residual tumour seen on the planning CT • GTV should be defined on the planning CT from the residual volume but should include any nodes that were involved at diagnosis even if they are not now enlarged
  • 97. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx • To allow for submucosal spread, the GTV is enlarged by 10 mm axially and 15mm longitudinally to form the CTV70 • The CTV70 is edited to take account of natural barriers to tumour progression and to include all sites of primary disease at presentation. • For example • A pyriform fossa cancer invading the tongue base at diagnosis may respond to induction chemotherapy to leave residual tumour in the pyriform fossa alone • The tongue base should be included in the CTV70 • CTV is further edited to include sites of high risk nodal disease • For N disease the CTV70 includes level II–IV nodes adjacent to the primary GTV, any involved nodes at other levels and any nodes in between
  • 98. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx
  • 99. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx • CTV for adjuvant radiotherapy • After careful discussion with the surgeon and pathologist, the CTV60 is defined as sites of possible residual microscopic disease • The CTV60 should include the margins of resection and sites of any dissected nodal levels where there was tumour. • Sites of positive resection margins or where there was extracapsular nodal spread should be further defined as CTV66. • When the patient has had a laryngectomy • Stoma should be included in the CTV60 if subglottic extension was present or if the surgeon is concerned about the risk of parastomal recurrence
  • 100. RT Techniques in Hypopharynx • CTV for adjuvant radiotherapy • If a clinically node negative tumour has been excised with an elective neck dissection and there is unexpected tumour in the neck nodes, a CTV44 can also be defined • This should ensure that the nodal levels have been treated either surgically or with radiotherapy • For example • If surgery for a T2 pyriform fossa tumour included an ipsilateral level II–IV neck dissection at which multiple involved nodes were identified (pN2b), the CTV44 should include ipsilateral levels Ib and V, contralateral levels II–IV and bilateral retropharyngeal nodes
  • 101. RT Technique of Carcinoma Larynx
  • 102. RT Technique of Carcinoma Larynx • Target volume definition • T1 N0 glottic larynx • Conventional treatment with small lateral beams is usually successful and well tolerated • Records and pictures from nasal endoscopy and EUA should be available as small primary vocal cord tumours are difficult to see on CT scan • GTV is defined as the site of primary tumour • CTV is the glottic larynx with a border at least 10 mm superiorly and inferiorly from the GTV. • Axially the bilateral mucosal laryngeal surface is included • PTV is CTV with a 3–5 mm isotropic margin depending on local assessment of random and systematic errors assuming tumour movement is minimal • Motion can be assessed by watching laryngeal movement with fluoroscopy in the simulator to ensure that the vocal cords remain within the PTV on swallowing
  • 103. RT Technique of Carcinoma Larynx • In practice, it can be easier to define • Superior (mid-body of hyoid) • Inferior (inferior margin of cricoid) beam borders • On the lateral DRR from the planning CT scan and then check on the axial slices that the whole glottic larynx is included within the CTV, assuming a 5 mm penumbra from PTV to beam edge • Using smaller beams defined solely on the basis of GTV-CTV-PTV definition has little therapeutic advantage and increases the possibility of a geographical tumour miss due to intra-fractional motion from swallowing
