What is the difference between head as well as Neck cancer?

The term “head and neck cancer” is a term that can be used to describe a variety of cancers that begin within the neck and head within the human body. The mouth is one of the areas affected by he tongue and jaw. It also includes the palate, jaw, tonsils, salivary glands, throat (pharynx) and throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), and nasal sinuses. The majority of throat and neck tumors begin within the cells that surround the lips’ moist surfaces and throat, such as the nose (squamous cells). They are referred to as squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), and they may also be seen in other areas of the body.

Some neck and head cancers begin in glandular cells. A lot of them are referred to as Adenocarcinomas.

Head and neck cancer

There are five major kinds of neck and head cancer:

  • Oral cavity
  • Pharynx
  • Larynx
  • Sinus and nasal cavity
  • Salivary glands

Mouth (Oral cavity): The muscles located at the base of the tongue extend to the upper part of the throat (oropharynx). The cancer that develops in the mouth is known as oral cancer.

The Throat (pharynx): Throat is also known as the pharynx. It’s an open tube that begins in the nasal area and connects to the stomach (esophagus) along with the windpipe (trachea).

Throat Cancer may affect the three pharyngeal parts:

  • Nasopharynx – the part that lies just behind the nose and is over the soft palate. The area that is affected by cancer is known as nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
  • Oropharynx is the middle area that extends between the soft palate as well as the tongue’s base to the back of the mouth, including the tonsils. Cancer found in this area is referred to as oropharyngeal carcinoma.
  • Hypopharynx is the lower portion that lies behind the vocal box (larynx). Cancer that starts in this region is referred to as hypopharyngeal cancer.

Larynx (Voice box): The voice box, also referred to as the larynx, is a narrow passageway connecting the lower portion of your throat (hypopharynx) with the windpipe (trachea). The cancer that develops in the larynx is known as laryngeal cancer. The larynx is home to vocal cords, also known as (glottis that vibrate when air passes through them and create the sound you hear when you speak.

Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses: The nasal cavity is the vast hollow space within the skull. The nasal cavity is warm, moist, and filters out the air you breathe. The nasal bone cavities contain a small amount of air-filled sinuses, also known as paranasal sinuses. The sinuses directly influence the tone and sound of your voice.

Four pairs are present in paranasal sinuses.

  • Maxillary sinuses are located beneath the eyes and within the cheek region
  • Frontal sinuses, behind the forehead
  • Ethmoid sinuses – located above your nose, and in between them
  • Sphenoid sinuses, located between and behind the eyes.

Salivary glands: These glands produce saliva, which keeps your mouth moist, aids in taking in food, and shields your mouth from infections. There are three main salivary glands.

  • The Parotid gland is located just in front of the ears
  • Sublingual gland is located under the tongue
  • Submandibular gland, located under the jawbone.

Numerous smaller glands line the mouth and throat, referred to as the smaller salivary glands. The majority of salivary gland cancers affect parotid glands. In rare cases, the submandibular or sublingual glands are affected.

Treatment: Treatment with radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments.

Stage IV (B)
