The Management of Oropharyngeal Cancer

Arthur G. James M.D.1

1 Associate Professor of Surgery, Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio.

1. The treatment of oropharyngeal cancer often requires a choice between surgery or radiation.

2. Factors such as histology, location of the lesion, age of the patient, previous treatment, the extent of involvement, and the general physical condition of the patient are important considerations in determining therapy.

3. The smaller primaries may often be treated equally effectively by surgery or radiation therapy.

4. Extensive lesions (primary plus metastatic deposits in the neck) are better treated by en bloc dissection.
