abstract: Carcinoma of the oropharynx poses particular challenges and problems to head and neck clinicians. These include relative anatomic inaccessibility, field cancerization and the need to minimize speech and swallowing dysfunction. The aim of this review is to bring together an appreciation of the issues involved in the management of this disease and the more recent results of its treatment.
