Abstract: Objective Hypopharyngeal carcinoma patients in IVc stage are always associated with poor prognosis and prognostic factors for these patients are largely unknown. We aimed to characterize the prevalence of metastases, and establish a prognostic nomogram for survival prediction. Methods Hypopharyngeal carcinoma patients with IVc stage were collected from surveillance, epidemiology and End Results(SEER)database. Chi-square test was used to analyze the related risk factors of different sites of metastases. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to analyze the prognostic factors of cancer-specific survival(CSS)in IVc stage patients. The nomogram based on multivariate Cox analysis was then established and validated. Results A total of 283 IVc stage hypopharyngeal carcinoma patients were included in this study. Majority of patients were diagnosed with single metastasis, and lung(53. 7%)was the most common metastasis site. Patients with tumor in pyriform sinus(P=0.029)and high-grade tumors(P=0.010)were more likely to develop lung metastasis. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that bone metastasis(HR=2.239, P<0.001), liver metastasis (HR=1.880, P=0.003), surgical therapy(HR=0.311, P=0.003)and chemotherapy(HR=0.494, P<0.001)were independent prognostic factors for CSS. Independent prognostic factors were integrated into nomogram for CSS prediction, and the C-index was 0.686(95%CI 0.649-0.723). Conclusion Lung metastasis is the most common in IVc stage hypopharyngeal carcinoma patients. For hypopharyngeal carcinoma patients in IVc stage, surgical therapy, chemotherapy, without bone and liver metastases are associated with superior survival outcome. The proposed nomogram has a good predictive ability and may be practical for clinical decision-making.

[3] This study aims to evaluate the level of expression of cyclin E2 in hypopharyngeal cancer and its relationship with clinical characteristics as well as prognosis. MethodsThe protein levels of cyclin E2 in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues were assessed by immunohistochemistry staining in 50 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer. The relationship between the expression level of cyclin E2 and clinical data was analyzed using the SPSS software. ResultsProtein levels of cyclin E2 in hypopharyngeal cancer were higher than protein levels of cyclin E2 in normal tissue(Z=-5.764,P=0.000). The cyclin E2 level in tumor tissue correlated with the tumor staging(Z=-1.995, P=0.046)and lymph node metastasis(Z=-2.176, P=0.030). The 5-year survival rates of patients with cyclin E2 positive and negative expression were 40.2% and 81.8%, respectively. Patients with high expression levels of cyclin E2 had a lower survival rate(χ=6.317, P=0.012). ConclusionThe abnormal expression of cyclin E2 protein in tumor tissues indicates that cyclin E2 may be involved in the development of hypopharyngeal cancer and could be a potential diagnostic and prognostic molecular marker..
