• Hypopharynx. This is the lower part of the throat
(pharynx) where food goes just before we swallow it.
• Larynx. The larynx (voice box) is in the front of
the neck in the region of the Adam's apple.
• Metastatic squamous cell cancer to cervical (neck)
lymph nodes . If a cancer that is discovered in
lymph nodes in the upper part of the neck is
squamous cell (or epidermoid), it is usually a
metastasis from a head and neck cancer. Unless
some other primary source can be found (such as
lung cancer), this tumor is generally treated as a
head and neck cancer. It is important to know that
this type of metastatic cancer may be curable
(discussed later in the section) ( see also "Cancer of an Unknown Primary Site" ).
