epidermoid carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma

Here is a surgical specimen similar to the last one. This epidermoid carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma which again is situated on the right side of the larynx is growing downward over the true cord. This location gives a better prognosis. Cancers of the true cord give symptoms early and can often be controlled by radiotherapy. The resident pathologist also has a bad case of nail biting.
