Carcinomas of the Nasopharynx and Oropharynx

Scope

The dataset has been developed for the reporting of resection and biopsy specimens of the nasopharynx and oropharynx. The protocol applies to all invasive carcinomas of the nasopharynx and oropharynx including the base of tongue, tonsils, soft palate, posterior wall, and uvula. Lymphomas and sarcomas are not included. Neck dissections and nodal excisions are dealt with in a separate dataset, and this dataset should be used in conjunction, where applicable.
