Cancer of the pharynx is less common than other head and neck cancers. It occurs in three locations:

• The oropharynx, which includes tumours of the base of tongue, tonsil and the undersurface of the soft palate.
• The hypopharynx, which includes tumours of the postcricoid area, pyriform sinus and the posterior pharyngeal wall.
• The nasopharynx, which is behind the nasal cavity and above the soft palate
