Özet
Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common malignancy among all body cancers. Pharyngeal tumors are mostly composed of squamous cell carcinoma. Alcohol and tobacco use, radiation, and viral infections are the most important risk factors [1]. The pharynx anatomically consists of three separate parts: the nasopharynx, the oropharynx, and the hypopharynx. The clinic of the tumor varies depending on its location.
