What Is Oropharyngeal Cancer?
Oropharyngeal cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that develops in the tissues of the oropharynx, which includes the back of the tongue, tonsils, soft palate and the side and back walls of the throat. Most oropharyngeal cancers arise from squamous cells lining these regions.
Common symptoms of oropharyngeal cancer include:
- Persistent sore throat that does not improve
- Pain or difficulty while swallowing (dysphagia)
- Difficulty opening the mouth fully or moving the tongue (trismus)
- Unexplained weight loss or referred ear pain
Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary approach and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. Treatment selection depends on the cancer stage, HPV status, overall health, and the goal of preserving speech and swallowing functions.
