INTRODUCTION alignant diseases are diseases with high case-fatality rates. In overall cause of mortality they are second, following the cardiovascular diseases, constituting 18% of all diseases. Laryngeal carcinoma is not a disease with high frequency, and although the larynx is part of the respiratory tract, malignant tumors at this location are less frequent than the carcinomas of the lower part of the respiratory tract.

LARYNGEAL & HYPOPHARYNGEAL CANCER - All Sections LARYNGEAL & HYPOPHARYNGEAL CANCER What Is Cancer ? Cancer develops when cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control. Although there are many kinds of cancer , they all start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells. Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person's life, normal cells divide more rapidly until the person becomes an adult. After that, cells in most parts of the body divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells and to repair injuries. Because cancer cells continue to grow and divide, they are different from normal cells. Instead of dying, they outlive normal cells and continue to form new abnormal cells. Cancer cells develop because of damage to DNA. This substance is in every cell and directs all its activities. Most of ...
