Diagnosis formulation by three degrees are suggested: pharyngeal dystrophy (PD) of degree I (only local symptoms cured after timely treatment), PD of degree II (local symptoms + neurotic condition which manifests with cancerophobia, persistent sensation of a foreign body), PD of degree III (persistent cancerophobia demanding psychotherapeutic treatment or psychiatric care).
