what is listed -- I note it is listed here as a tracteoto

box, then every time we swallow it goes dom our wind-

remove this valve box wo have got to do soraething about
the patient t s windpipe, We muotn 't have it in his throat
or everything that he swallows will go down his lungs,

our skin and our thsoat, are made up bf cells called

"QUESWXO?it And Khat was the actual finding of
t ha pathologist that examined the rem:oired tissue with
'
respect to his larynx?
pANSWMs He found an ulcerating Grade 3
squamous cell epithelioma, involving the left pyriform
fossa. Now I might say that the Grade 3ia our method
or means of telling another doctor how aalignant the
growth is. I might put It a different t*ray, It ie sort
of like the cat faiaily. The oat family has the kitty
cat, the bob cat, the ti6er,and the lion. You take
care of a kitty cat different than you do a lion. You
would rather have alUtty eat under yor~ bed thar. a lion,
He didn't have a kltty cat and ho didn't h$,ve a bob cat,
he had a tiger in his throat. That ie what Grade 3
meana to us. Actually, the pathologist determines that
by looking at the cells under the microscope, how many o!'
them are abnormal. if he sces only one or two, It might
be a grade one. It in his field he sdesmny, it would
be a grade four, So that this was a highly malignant
cancer that he had in his throat. Malignant means its
ability to spread, how often does It spread,
"QUFSrIOrt: Doctor, was It necessary to exeise

know from experience that patients might come who

and he said, 'No, l then It went in on our recor4 as
smoking, no. And, thereforep we are making a
much nore serious attempt now days to try to find
out just what the smoking habltd might have been,
All I can ssy is that as of that day Mr. Rose told
Dr. Friedman, who took this history, that he was
smokin,g less than a package of cigarettea per day."
And that would egtab3ish that that was the practice
and method of keeping reeorde at that t3.me and that
that is all that the record purported to show, and I
offer to havo that read to the jury on a very vital issue

into the hypopharynx to see the larynx, and it projects
upward from the depths of this hypopharynx. I can't do
any better than that.
"QUESTION: The hypopharynx, would it be eorreot
to say, that the hypopharynx is that portion of the throat
laying below the laryngeal inlett
"ANSWER: No, that is not true.
"QUESTION: Can you refer to any portion of the

upper boundary of the hypopharyn=t
"ANSwER: Yes. On the lateral wall, the side
-
of this hypopharynx at its upper boundary, I might place
and I might put in here that these are my boundaries,
you could get ten other people who might give you dif-
ferent boundaries -- nW boundary at that level would be
the bottom of the tonsil or the tonsillar fossa, the.
place into which the tonsil sits. The place where the there are pillars, we call them. Pillar one
lies in'
front of the tonsii, one lies behind the tonsil right
at the bottom there where it meets the tongue. That is
where I would say the upper limits of the hypopnarytvc ,s.

"AMNF.R: The laryngeal inlet really has -- that*
term could mean iniet at the level of the true vooal
corde, or it could Yaean the inlet that is bound by the
tip of the epiglottie. We will describe those later, I
suspeot.
"QUESTI4N: Yes. I a:s referring now to I
think the one I mean is the tip of the epiglottis, or
the inlet is where air would first enter the larynx as
it went troa the outside on down toward your lunge?
"ANSk'ERs Could you repeat that question?
"QURSTION: Yes. I wanted to -- with that
understanding of what I mean by the laryngeal inlet, I
wanted to know where does the hypopharynx.-- where is it
located with reepeot to that?
"ANSWER s Well, I think I might put it so that
someone -- other lay peoD1Q, for instanoe, might under-
stand. If I wish to see this inlet I must look into
the tiyDopharynx, I must look down into it, look straight
down into the hypopharynx. Somewhere around the bottoa
of this hypopharynx I can see the inlet. It sort of
sticks up into the hypopharynx, it projects upward into
It, into the structure of the hypopharynx,

called the pharynx and that is a big plaee, and you said
~
'And this cancer was technically in this part of his
i
pharynx, hypopharynx. Hypo nsana below. I don't know
~
whether you want me to bother these folks with hypopharynx
nasopharynx and so on,' -- and then you were told you
didn't need to unless they specifiaally asked for it.
So I would start at that point. Would you please tell
us what the nasopharynx is and the oral pharynx and the
hypoPharYnxt
"ANSk'gRs Well, the nasopharynx is that part
of our tube or cavity that lies behind our nose Just
above the palate. It is the cavity through which the
air travels when we breathe through our nose. Into this
cavity the two ears open, one on either side just behind
the nose openingsj hence the name nasopharynx y- the
nose part of the pharynx or the nose part of the throat.
You could substitute the word pharynx for throat if you
wish, call it the nose-throat. I think the other words
you asked were oral pharynx or mouththroat, the part
you see when you look in your'mouth in the mirror--the
caouth throat or oral pharynx. Hypopharynx simply means
something below, the below throat, the throat that i
beyond or below your line of eight when you look straight
In the r,aouth.
N4EMP'1G1ts tihere is the hypoyharynx located

which is also a part of the larynx. Superiorly, or
above, this space looks upward into the throat, and
interiorly, or downward, it passea down into the eaophagus
or gullet, the swallowing part. Posteriorly it is open,
it fades around to the back of the larynx where it wili
swing into the opposite pyriforn sinus. I think that
would form the boundaries of the pyriforrA sinus. It
gets its name tros the word pyramid, whioh means - I
think you all know what a pyras-dd is, except this pyraadd
is tipped upside down with the apex of the pyramid look-
ing downward and the base upward in the throat.
"QUESTION: Does it form a aort of a thing
airstlar to a tlunnel to the eRopha3usl
"A.WSWEtt It could be considered and is
considered a trough or a lunnel through which food is
diroeted when ee swallow.
"QUgSTION: Insofar as the t~Znction of this
pyritor.u fosea is ooncerned in the swallowing process,
whether it be food or liquid, ia it true that on each
side, the right pyriform sinus and the left pyritorm
sinus, serve the function in the swallowing process of
aating as a tLnnel or a trough or a conveyor belt or
however you want to describe it, to earry whatever you
are swallowing to the esophagus and on down the food
traat!

"QU-STIONs Now you said that you could tell
me someone else rho oalls the Dyrifor4 fossa a part of

Sir.
"A?JSWERt I think I read a book or know of a
book written by a Dr. Ackerman where he described and
wrote about oanoer of the lerynx and mentione4 pyrifora
sinus as one of the locations for aanoer of the larynx.
"QUESTIONs Is that Dr. Lawrence Aokeraan of
St. Louis!
"ANS'WER s I think so. *
"QUKSTIONt Do you know of an.Yone else in the
scientific world, other than Dr. Ackerman, who so olas-
sifies itt
"AHSWER: I can't tell you offhand right now,
but I think I could get eorse articles or reference in
due tiae in the library.
"QUNSTIONt IsnOt it true that anyone who
refers to pyriforat fossa as being any part of the larynx,
also distinguiahes between intrinsio and extrinsio larynx!
"ANSb'ERe Yes, I think that that is generally
so. These words extrinsic and intrinsic have oome down
to us through the years. They have been used by so many
different men Ln so many different poettione. Laryngol
oglsts in writing about aancer of the larynx -- they

579(120)
"QUSSTIONt Now you say that you susyeot that
that is true. Let me ask you whether or not there is
any experimental evidenoe to your )moxledae as to --t
"ANSW$R t I don' t think you need any experiment
evidence. I can see that every day when I look at a
patient's throat. I ask him to say 'aye' or leye' and
while I am examining his larynx I don't think the examina-
tion is complete until I have looked into it. I ant
looking through air, therefore air must go through it,
must circulate through it. I don't think I need an experi
ment to prove that to me.
"MR. PIELDs You say 'it', you are referring
to the pyriform foesat
"WITNrSSs I am referring to the pyrifora
foesa. We have a saying to our reaidente, 'You have
not completed the examiriation of the patient's larynx
unless you have thoroughly examined the pyrifora sinus.
It you haven't seen the pyriform sinus, you haven't
exaatned the patient's lar)7tx.'
"QV:STIONt k'ell, naybe I didn't make my
:
,
earlier request quite as olear as I should. As I under-
stand it, the larynx, trachea, lunEs, are all a part of
our bodily syatem of respirationt
"AySWSRt Yee.
"yU~:"Tl'M Xou have told me that you know

579(126)
vi7
larynx aanaer comparisons. These differences provide
some clues about potential environmental faators.'
Would you agree with thatt
"ANSWERt You know I bare read that paper
amany times and I don't even know what he is talking about.
I can not agree because I don't know what he is talking
about.
"QUE3TIONs Well, do you agree that there is a
difference in sex ratio between lung to larynx cancer?
'AN3WERs I don't know anything about lung
canaer.
"QUESTIONt Well, then I will limit it to your
field here. Do you agree that there is a difference in
sex ratio between extrinsic and intrinsio, as we have
discussed theaa here - and I recognize that those are not
your teriast
"ANSWSRs I know that taking the piature as

of no hxnation that the pyriform sinus serves in that
respiration. I now ask you whether or not in light of
that you consider the pyriform fossa as an organ oon-
oerned with respiration?
"ANSWRRe No one knows what the itiinotion of
the pyriform sinus is. No one knows what the function
of the appendix is, but it is also a part of the bonvel.
No one may know what the function of the pyriforae lossa
is but it is still a part of the larynx.
"QURSTIONc Do you know of anyone else that
olaasifies the pyriform tossa as a part of the larynx?
"ANSWERs I can got an author for you who in
one place might tell you that the pyritora fosda is
part of the hypopharynx or the pharynx, and another
place he might say it is a part of the larynx or desoribe
it as a part of the larynx.
"QUESTIONs When you talk about as a part or
the larynx, on your olassitiaation here at Mayo's, you
don't ever consider a cancer of the pyriforn tossa as an
intrinsic cancer of the larynx, do you?
"ANSWSRs We don't use the word intrinsie

realise that there are differences in how you treat a
patient who has cancer oP the larynx, depending on where
it is situated, and so in writing about their triumphs
and failures in treating this disease they like to tell
the other doctors where their oanoers were that they
treated so they try to say that so many patients had
cancer in the intrinsic larynx. Well, then they turn
around and try to define what they mean by intrinsia
cancer of the larrnx, and it has become a mixture, a
hodge-podge, a terrible thing. What I mean by intrinsia,
Dr, Martin in New York might mean something entirely dif-
ferent. 3o might Dr. Kuhn in Haamond, xndiana, or
wherever you sll.ght want to go.
"QUESTIONi Isn't it true that those who refer
to extrinsic cancer of the larynx use that tercn uxtrinsio
cancer of the larynx as synonymous with hypopharynx, so
if there is a cancer that is not in the air passageway

pharyngeal area it is referred to

the pyriforra foasa -- what is it that keeps that food
froa going down the windpipe through the larynx?
"ANSkERe That is one of the nWroteries that
nobody knows for sure, but we choose to use the word
'valves' when we talk to people and when you talk about
valves of the true vocal oords, and there is also another
set of valves above then called the talse vocal 4ords,
the very superior border of this space we are talking
about, the pyriforts, has a small muscle -- the epiglottio
told, which helps to close over the larynx so that food
is directed laterally insteaA of down through the voice
box.
"QUgSTIOAi: Now theae epiglottio folds, there
are one on each side or around the larynx at the top#

$The laot that there has been no great inorease in the
incidence of cancer of the oral cavity in men is consistent
with the data presented. There has been a moderate inoreas
in the number of oases of laryngeal oanoer, again oonsisten
with the known taots. The inoreass in consumption of
tobacco has been aargely an increase in consumption of
aigarettes. This would contribute to an increase in the ~
incidence of cancer of the lung, but not to that o!' the
oral cavity and Iarynx, in whieh oigarettes play a lesser
role than do cigars and pipes. Tlze latter two types of
smoking have dQOreased slia,htly. These data may account
for t}ie taot that, according to Wynder and assooiates'p
(9) Semon in 1906 could describe 212 cases of laryngeal
cancer at a time when cancer of the lung was thought to
be most uncorsaon and when pipe and cigar smoking were more

also was married again i.n 1945 and has now raised children
during that period and into the '50's9 and that after
attending these roetings for a year he no longer felt
the need of them. That In the five to six years before
his operation here at the Mayo Clinic he was only drink-

came to the wayo wlinia and rras asked by the Clinic on

want you to assume that there was a period In the early

At that point Your Honor adnitt@d the dootorls opittiob

I aupplied the drinking facts that I then knew about
