What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Pharyngeal Cancer?
Unlocking the possibility of pharyngeal cancer remission begins with knowing vital information about your diagnosis.
Pharyngeal cancer is a rare form of throat cancer. It occurs in the pharynx — the hollow tube inside the neck that runs from the back of the nose to the top of the esophagus. The pharynx has three distinct parts, and malignancy (cancer) can develop in the cells of each area.
The three sections of the pharynx are:
- The nasopharynx. Top part of pharynx behind the nose and nasal cavity.
- The oropharynx. Middle part of the pharynx behind the mouth.
- The hypopharynx. Bottom part of the pharynx behind the larynx.
The malignant diseases that occur in these areas are nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and hypopharyngeal cancer. About 95 percent of pharyngeal tumors are squamous cell carcinomas, which arise in the thin, flat cells lining the inside of the pharynx.
