Head and Neck cancers Information
- Head and neck cancers are malignant growths originating in the lip and oral cavity (mouth), nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, thyroid, paranasal sinuses, salivary glands and cervical lymph nodes of the neck. Head and neck cancers are most commonly squamous cell carcinomas, originating from the squamous cells that line the upper aerodigestive tract...

The salivary glands give rise to a variety of uncommon tumours including adenocarcinomas, pleomorphic adenomas, and adenoid cystic carcinomas.
The term throat cancer is sometimes used as a layman's term for a cancer of the larynx or pharynx, a cancer that has metastasized to the lymph nodes of the neck, or even esophageal cancer.
Cancer of the trachea is a rare cancer that may also be considered throat cancer.
Laryngeal cancer begins in the larynx, the part of the throat that contains the vocal cords and is used for breathing, swallowing, and talking.
Oropharyngeal cancer begins in the oropharynx, the middle part of the throat that includes the soft palate, the base of the tongue, and the tonsils.
Nasopharyngeal cancer begins in the nasopharynx, the upper part of the throat behind the nose.
Hypopharyngeal cancer begins in the hypopharynx, the bottom part of the throat that connects to the esophagus.
Head and neck cancers are malignant growths originating in the lip and oral cavity (mouth), nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, thyroid, paranasal sinuses, salivary glands and cervical lymph nodes of the neck. Head and neck cancers are most commonly squamous cell carcinomas, originating from the squamous cells that line the upper aerodigestive tract.

Cancer is one of the most fear inducing words in our culture; and
it is the number one disease American’s wish to avoid, according to
on-line surveys. While cancer research has yet to find the magic
bullet for knocking out cancer, there is good news about this
deadly disease. As far back as November of 1996, Harvard School of
