throat cancer (throte KAN-ser)
Cancer that forms in tissues of the pharynx (the hollow tube inside the neck that starts behind the nose and ends at the top of the windpipe and esophagus). Throat cancer includes cancer of the nasopharynx (the upper part of the throat behind the nose), the oropharynx (the middle part of the pharynx), and the hypopharynx (the bottom part of the pharynx). Cancer of the larynx (voice box) may also be included as a type of throat cancer. Most throat cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (cancer that begins in thin, flat cells that look like fish scales). Also called pharyngeal cancer.
My brother had squamous cell carcinoma on his tonsil several yaers ago, which has been successfully treated

Cancer in the throat is called "throat cancer". Not trying to be funny. If you want a name like such and so carcinoma... well there are so many different types of cancer that can invade that just naming the location is not enough to make a pronouncement of the exact diagnosis. Take heart though, throat cancer is very treatable. My granny died from it, but she was 96 yrs old, so it was her time.

Encourage her not to give up and instead look for alternative solution as life is really precious. Advise her to change her diet and avoid red meat and take in more fish and vegetables.
There is also another alternative solution which helps with cancer. Its called Nikken's Dunaliella Hard Capsules. Read more details from the link below. For cancer patient, most of them would take a large quantity of that together with Nikken's Eva yang, Nikken's Chlostanin Gold and also Nikken's Go Signal (to detox what they take ensure smooth bowel and liver is not overweight by all the doctor's medicine).
Check out the online store. Product is available online only.

The cancer found in the throat is squamous cell carcinoma and is curable if found early enough; hopefully, that's the case with her.

It the tumor is in the tonsils, its called tonsillar cancer.
If the tumor is in the larynx, its called laryngeal cancer
If the tumor is on the uvula, its called uvular cancer
It just depends on what part of the throat they find the tumor in.
