title: [Interdisciplinary surgery-the throat].
abstract: The special anatomic situation and the multitude of combinations of oncological therapeutic and reconstructive modalities in tumors of the cervical region require intensive interdisciplinary planning and discussion during tumor staging, surgical resection, and (neo)adjuvant treatment. We discuss here the various treatment modalities for tumors of the pharynx and cervical esophagus.
