What is Throat Cancer?
“Throat cancer” is the general term for squamous carcinoma of the mouth, tongue, palate, voice box, pharynx or esophagus. Although other types of cancer may afflict these areas, squamous carcinoma is by far the most common. Any type of cancer can be a frightening prospect, but cancer of the throat is especially so because surgery routinely affects the ability to swallow and speak.
