title: Oropharyngeal cancer.
abstract: Imaging studies have an important role in defining the extent of oropharyngeal neoplasms and coming to an accurate staging of these lesions. Besides influencing treatment choice, imaging studies can also be used to monitor tumour response to treatment, and as an adjunct to clinical follow-up in order to detect treatment failure as early as possible.
