Throat cancer usually refers to cancer of the voice box, the vocal cords, and other parts of the throat, such as the tonsils and the oropharynx. The most progressive radiation therapy through the application of energetic protons was conceived by Robert R. Wilson in 1946 while the first treatment was performed at Berkeley Radiation Laboratory in 1954 and at Uppsala in Sweden in 1957.In general, a Pharyngectomy is done for select cases of throat cancer of the nasopharynx, oropharynx or hypopharynx whereas a total Laryngectomy often includes removal of a strip of pharynx, which is technically called a total Laryngectomy with a partial Pharyngectomy.

Good evening Doctor. I had intramucosal adenocarcinoma of the rectum about 9 years ago, arising from a tubulovillous adenoma (2 × 2 cm), moderately differentiated, with no invasion beyond the muscularis mucosa. Only polypectomy was done, and no further treatment was required. The report showed MSI negative / MMR proficient. At that time MRI pelvis and CT scan were normal, and post-polypectomy site biopsy showed no dysplasia or malignancy. Follow-up done regularly: • Colonoscopy – about 10 times, all normal (last on 12 November 2025) • USG whole abdomen – 10 times, all normal • Blood tests – about 6 times, normal • Chest X-ray (PA) – 4 times, normal Kindly advise the appropriate interval for future surveillance colonoscopy. Also, if a new polyp appears in future, would it necessarily be malignant in my case, or usually benign? . Kindly send your advice by SMS when convenient. Thank you.
