Oropharyngeal Cancer Treatment
Treatment Options for Recurrent Oropharyngeal Cancer
Treatment of recurrent oropharyngeal cancer may include the following:
- Surgery if radiation therapy did not remove all the cancer.
- Radiation therapy (if not previously used) or additional surgery if the first surgery did not remove all the cancer.
- A clinical trial of chemotherapy.
- A clinical trial of hyperthermia therapy with radiation therapy.
