hypopharynx

The process used to find out if cancer has spread within the hypopharynx or to other parts of the body is called staging.

The cancer may come back in the hypopharynx or in other parts of the body.

The hypopharynx is the bottom part of the pharynx (throat).

T4: Tumor is affecting areas outside of the hypopharynx.

In stage 0, abnormalcells are found in the lining of the hypopharynx.

T1: the tumor is less than 2 cm across and is limited to one area in the hypopharynx.

Cancer of the hypopharynx is uncommon; approximately 2,500 new cases are diagnosed in the United States each year.

The different parts of the throat are called the oropharynx, the hypopharynx, and the nasopharynx.

Situated behind the mouth lies the median hypopharynx.

The hypopharynx and the labrum both are hollow.

The hypopharynx has 3 different areas.

If all or part of the hypopharynx is removed, the patient may need plastic surgery and other special help with breathing, eating, and talking.

The hypopharynx is a somewhat globular structure, arising from the base of the labium.

It connects the inferior part of the pharynx (hypopharynx) with the trachea.

Finally, the hypopharynx has extended into a tube that can deliver saliva at the end of the proboscis.

In stage I, cancer has formed in one area of the hypopharynx only and the tumor is 2 centimeters or smaller.

The piriform sinus is a subsite of the hypopharynx.

There were large greyish membranes on the hypopharynx and the right tonsil, which was necrotic.

In stage IVC, cancer has spread beyond the hypopharynx to other parts of the body.

Evidence based pathology: squamous carcinoma of the hypopharynx.

Bay leaf impaction in the esophagus and hypopharynx.

These reflexes can also protect the airways from any food or liquids that may spill over from the hypopharynx.

The hypopharynx is the bottom part of pharynx, and can be considered the first area where the digestive tract splits from the airways.

Saliva is swallowed, along with the cancer-promoting material, which passes through the hypopharynx on its way to the esophagus.

Swallowing transports the chewed food into the esophagus, passing through the oropharynx and hypopharynx.
