Oropharyngeal cancer is a kind of head and neck cancer that starts in the oropharynx, the core of the throat. This area comprises the soft palate, tonsils, back of the tongue, and throat walls. Malignant cells in the tissues of the oropharynx are often the cause of oropharyngeal cancer. For example, it has been associated with things such as smoking, using alcohol, and the human papillomavirus (HPV).<\/p>

Most cases of oropharyngeal cancer are tonsil cancer. In addition, people can develop oropharyngeal cancer in the gums, the floor of the mouth, and the oropharynx. Early diagnosis is important because this cancer can spread to nearby lymph nodes.
