Most ( 90%) cancers of the<unk>  and<unk>  are squamous cell-derived termed as "head and<unk>  squamous-cell carcinomas". Histopathology Throat cancers are classified according to their histology or cell structure, and are commonly referred to by their location in the oral cavity and<unk> . This is because where the cancer appears in the throat affects the prognosis – some throat cancers are more aggressive than others depending upon their location. The stage at which the cancer is diagnosed is also a critical factor in the prognosis of throat cancer. Treatment guidelines recommend routine testing for the presence of HPV for all oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma tumours.

It accounts for over 90% of all<unk> s, including more than 90% of throat cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma is most likely to appear in males over 40 years of age with a history of heavy alcohol use coupled with smoking. The tumor marker Cyfra 21-1 may be useful in diagnosing squamous cell carcinoma of the<unk> /neck (SCCHN). Adenocarcinoma Adenocarcinoma is a cancer of epithelial tissue that has glandular characteristics. Several<unk> s are adenocarcinomas (either of intestinal or non-intestinal cell-type).
