==Overview==The prevalence of hypopharyngeal cancer is relatively less, representing only 10% of all proximal aerodigestive tract malignancies.^[1] The incidence of hypopharyngeal cancer is estimated to be 0.78 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States each year.^[2] Males are more commonly affected with hypopharyngeal cancer than females. Hypopharyngeal cancer commonly affects individuals older than 50 years of age.
