Overview
Patients of Plummer-Vinson syndrome are at a risk (10-15%) of developing malignant lesions (squamous cell carcinoma) of the oral mucosa, hypopharynx and esophagus. Effective measures for the secondary prevention of Plummer-Vinson syndrome include an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy every year to rule out malignant transformation.
Secondary Prevention
Patients of Plummer-Vinson syndrome are at a risk (10-15%) of developing malignant lesions (squamous cell carcinoma) of the oral mucosa, hypopharynx and esophagus. Effective measures for the secondary prevention of Plummer-Vinson syndrome include:[1]
- Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy every year
