Survival rates for mouth and oropharyngeal cancers have risen slightly over the last 20 years. For oropharyngeal cancer, around 40 out of every 100 men (40%) and more than 40 out of every 100 women (40%) will survive for 5 years or more after diagnosis. Early-stage tonsil cancer is often treated with radiation therapy. A promising treatment called induction chemotherapy is also used to shrink the tonsil tumor. Advanced cancer cases usually require a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. New techniques introduced to reduce complications, making Tonsil Cancer a safer operation for more people than ever before.
