Methods This study included 200 patients with esophageal cancer in our hospital from January 2011 to March 2014. General data, tumor information, and follow-up of patients were retrospectively analyzed. First, the risk factors of esophageal cancer with hypopharyngeal carcinoma were analyzed by univariate analysis with comparisons between groups using the chi square test(2). Logistic regression analysis was then performed for factors with statistical differences. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival rate. Results Single-factor analysis revealed that age(<55 years), male gender, severe smoking history, severe alcohol consumption history, and >3 tumor invasion sites were high risk factors for comorbidity of esophageal cancer in hypopharyngeal cancer patients(P<0.05). The results of the multifactor analysis showed that age(<55 years), severe smoking history, severe alcohol consumption history, and >3 tumor invasion sites were independent risk factors for comorbidity of hypopharyngeal carcinoma(P<0.05). The median survival time of the 200 hypopharyngeal cancer patients was 37.5 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 36.7%. The median survival time of 56 patients with concurrent hypopharyngeal carcinoma and concurrent esophageal cancer was 24.8 months, which was significantly lower than that in patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma without concurrent esophageal cancer(P<0.05). The median survival time in patients with early-stage esophageal carcinoma(0+Ⅰ stage)was 29.2 months, which was significantly higher than that in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma(Ⅱ+Ⅲ stage), and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The survival time in hypopharyngeal cancer patients with concurrent esophageal cancer is relatively low. Age(<55 years), severe smoking history, severe alcohol consumption history, and >3 tumor invasion sites are independent risk factors for comorbidity of hypopharyngeal cancer, and early interventions should be implemented in clinical practice.
