Association of CTCs with the PFS and OS of patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. PFS and OS of patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma whose CTC counts increased was compared with those whose CTC counts decreased or remained unchanged (P=0.0033 and 0.0333). PFS and OS of patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma who presented with negative CTCs or whose CTCs changed from positive to negative compared with those who presented with positive CTCs or whose CTCs changed from negative to positive (P=0.0174 and 0.1451). CTCs, circulating tumor cells; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival.
