Aerodigestive tract tumors are very diverse, either in terms of location, or histologically. Also, this heterogeneity poses particular problems for the histological diagnosis but also for the establishment of the most appropriate treatment. Thus, the network REFCOR (réseau d'expertise français sur les cancers ORL rares/French expert network on rare ENT cancers) was created to better understand these issues, by proposing an epidemiological and diagnostic approach with research collaborations. This network is dedicated to all primary malignant tumors of the salivary glands, ear, nasal cavity and sinuses and all head and neck malignancies other than conventional squamous cell carcinoma. The REFCORpath network consists of expert pathologists and offers, through a network of scanned images, a second opinion or even a third.
无论在位置上还是组织学上，气消化道肿瘤都非常多样。此外，这种异质性不仅给组织学诊断带来了特殊问题，也给确定最合适的治疗方法带来了困难。因此，REFCOR网络（法国罕见耳鼻喉癌症专业网络）应运而生，通过提出一种流行病学和诊断方法并开展研究合作，以更好地理解这些问题。该网络致力于唾液腺、耳、鼻腔和鼻窦的所有原发性恶性肿瘤以及除传统鳞状细胞癌以外的所有头颈部恶性肿瘤。REFCORpath网络由专家病理学家组成，并通过扫描图像网络提供二次甚至三次诊断意见。
