## Abstract ## Background. Detection of early recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is clinically challenging. Narrowβband imaging (NBI) is powerful in detecting early superficial lesions in the head and neck, although the utility of NBI in detecting nasopharyngeal cancer is still unknown. ##
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Narrow band imaging combined with magnifying endoscopy (NBIβME) is useful for the detection of superficial cancer in the oropharynx, hypopharynx, and esophagus. We used NBIβME to evaluate the frequency of superficial cancer spread (SCS) contiguous with advance
## Background: The aim was to investigate whether periodic pharyngolaryngoscopy screening in high-risk patients with preceding carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract can detect early hypopharyngeal cancer and preserve the larynx. ## Methods: The records of 122 patients with hypopharyngeal can
