Most head and neck cancers begin in the cells
that line the mucosal surfaces in the head and
neck area, e.g., mouth, nose, and throat. Mucosal
surfaces are moist tissues lining hollow organs
and cavities of the body open to the environment.
Normal mucosal cells look like scales (squamous)
under the microscope, so head and neck cancers
are often referred to assquamous cell carcinomas.
Some head and neck cancers begin in other types
of cells. For example, cancers that begin in
glandular cells are called adenocarcinomas.

to keep the mouth moist. Mouth helps in breaking

Diagnosis of Head and Neck
Cancer   Physical exam. The doctor will feel
your neck and check yourthyroid, larynx, and
lymph nodes for abnormal lumps or swelling. To
see your throat, the doctor may press down on
your tongue.   Indirect laryngoscopy. The doctor
looks down your throat using a small,
long-handled mirror to check for abnormal areas
and to see if your vocal cords move as they
should. The doctor may spray a local anesthesia
in your throat to keep you from gagging.
  Direct laryngoscopy. The doctor inserts a
thin, lighted tube called a laryngoscope through
your nose or mouth. As the tube goes down your
throat, the doctor can look at areas that cannot
be seen with a mirror.   CT scan. An x-ray
machine linked to a computer takes a series of
detailed pictures of the neck area. You may
receive an injection of a special dye so your
larynx shows up clearly in the pictures. From the
CT scan, the doctor may see tumors in your larynx
or elsewhere in your neck.
