Oropharyngeal Cancer
The oropharynx is the middle part of the pharynx (throat). The pharynx is a hollow tube that begins behind the nose and goes down to the neck, becoming part of the tube that extends into the stomach (esophagus). The oropharynx includes the base of the tongue, the tonsils, the soft palate (back of the mouth), and the walls of the pharynx.
Oropharyngeal cancer is a disease in which cancer cells are found within the anatomical borders of the oropharynx. The majority of oropharyngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.
Symptoms of oropharyngeal cancer
See a doctor if any of the following symptoms are present : -
- A sore throat that persists
- Pain or difficulty with swallowing
- Unexplained weight loss
- Voice changes
- Ear pain
- A lump in the back of the throat or mouth

Risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer

- Use of alcohol
- Use of tobacco
Being infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV), especially HPV-type-16 (HPV-16)
How is oropharyngeal cancer diagnosed ?
A doctor can diagnose oropharyngeal cancer by examining the throat. The doctor will use a mirror and lights to look at the throat and will feel the neck for masses. If the doctor finds abnormal tissue, he or she will obtain a piece of tissue in a procedure called a biopsy. The tissue will be checked for cancer cells.

- A clinical trial of new ways to provide radiation therapy
Prognosis (chance of recovery) for people with oropharyngeal cancers
The prognosis for people with oropharyngeal cancer depends on the age and health of the person and the stage of the disease.
