The larynx, the organ of the voice and other functions, is located in the upper part of the trachea and is surrounded by the hypopharynx (the lower part of the throat, where food passes). The larynx has three main functions: creating the voice by vibration of the vocal cords, preventing the entry of food into the lungs when swallowing via the sphincter and allowing air to pass into the lungs when breathing. Throat cancers are mainly found in the vocal cords, but may also be found in the structures close to the vocal cords.
