Tonsil cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that forms in a tonsil. Your tonsils are two oval-shaped pads in the back of your mouth that are part of your body's germ-fighting immune system. Tonsil cancer can cause difficulty swallowing and a sensation that something is caught in your throat.
The tonsils are part of the body's immune system. Because of their location at the throat and palate, they can stop germs entering the body through the mouth or the nose.
Tonsils have a rich supply of lymphatic tissue, which provides an easy path for metastases to reach regional lymph nodes. Cancerous cells may spread locally to the surrounding tissue of the oropharynx including the base of the tongue, the soft palate, and the posterior wall of the throat.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin most often occurs on sun-exposed skin, such as your scalp, the backs of your hands, your ears or your lips. But it can occur anywhere on your body, including inside your mouth, the bottoms of your feet and on your genitals.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil has a relatively poor prognosis. Aggressive surgery, radiation therapy and combinations of irradiation and surgery have been employed but there exists some controversy about the efficacy of these treatment modalities.
The vast majority of skin cancers are basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. While malignant, these are unlikely to spread to other parts of the body if treated early. They may be locally disfiguring if not treated early.
Squamous cell carcinoma - a very common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer that originates in the squamous cells - becomes metastatic when it spreads (metastasizes) beyond the primary cancer site and affects other areas of the body.
