Tracheostomy Dependence in Hypopharyngeal Cancer: Comparative Prognostic Impact of CRT Versus Surgery

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 3, Page 1416-1424, March 2026.
Patients with long‐term tracheostomy dependence exhibited the poorest prognosis and the highest recurrence rates. Emergency tracheostomy was identified as a strong predictor of long‐term dependence. Upfront surgery may be more appropriate for patients with impaired baseline laryngeal function.
