Treatments of Mouth and Throat Cancer 1. Surgery In the case of mouth cancer, there are three main options for surgery. Surgery to remove the tumor would involve cutting out the tumor as well as the healthy surrounding tissues. In cases where the cancer cells are in the neck’s lymph node...
A2"Throat cancer" may denotes several different cancers that arise from the various parts of the throat (larynx, pharynx etc.). The tumor itself may cause hoarseness and problems with speaking, and the treatment itself (usually surgery) may also result in damage to the speaking capability. ...
Tumor: A tumor of the throat, voice box or tongue may cause a sore throat. When a sore throat is a sign of cancer, it doesn’t go away after a few days. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It is a condition in which acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus (the tube...
Radiologic imaging (CT scan or x-ray) of the throat and neck area to evaluate for other various causes of a sore throat (abscess, trauma/injury, tumor, etc). In certain cases, a specialist may be recommended depending on the symptoms and presumptive diagnosis (an Ear, Nose, and Throat ...

Several forms of cancer, including lung, prostate, breast, and colon express receptors for bombesin-like peptides. Radiolabeled bombesin analogs with a high affinity for these receptors might therefore be used for scintigraphic imaging of these tumor types. A truncated bombesin derivative (HYNIC-β...
