Imaging of hypopharyngeal and cervical oesophageal cancer

Hypopharyngeal cancer, and particularly cervical oesophageal cancer, are infrequent tumours. Imaging methods assist in pre-treatment planning by better defining the extension of the lesions, by detecting subclinical neck adenopathies, as well as distant metastasis. In selected cases, imaging is also...
