. Finally, the term “Head and Neck Cancer” can be used to describe a significant variety of pathologies. A systematic review of a more specific pathology might be more clinically significant (e.g., for squamous cell carcinoma). Applicability Head and neck malignancies are amongst the most common malignancies in humans. They are invasive, and the diagnosis often occurs in a late stage of the tumor, increasing the mortality rates. Tumor invasion into adjacent bony structures such as the mandible is common (...) .

This condition is almost entirely found in malignant neoplasms but occurs also in the context of benign tumours such as meningiomas.

Only tumors that are sufficiently [ 18 F]FDG avid can be staged properly with [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT, and reduced sensitivity for local tumor extension and metastatic disease must be taken into account in case of less [ 18 F]FDG-avid tumors.

Furthermore, radiotherapy treatment planning is critically dependent on imaging [ ] in order to maximize dose to tumor and spare healthy adjacent tissues. In general, MRI is used for evaluating the local extent of the disease in the pelvis, since it provides excellent soft tissue
