Many variables need to be considered - tumour type, size, presence of neck metastases, age of patient etc.
Squamous cell carcinoma:
- base of tongue tumours do worse than tonsillar tumours
Lymphoma:
- 70% survival rate if confined to head and neck
84% of men survive oropharyngeal cancer for at least one year, and this is predicted to fall to 66% surviving for five years or more, as shown by age-standardised net survival for patients diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer during 2009-2013 in England. Survival for women is similar with 84% surviving for one year or more, and 66% predicted to survive for at least five years
