Abstract
Experience of the treatment of 20 patients with post-cricoid carcinoma is reported, and the conclusion reached was that radical surgery is the best form of treatment, using radiotherapy to deal with subsequent developments. The surgical procedure used has been a single-stage pharyngolaryngectomy and total oesophagectomy with restoration of continuity by a posterior mediastinal colon transplant.Keywords
