This is important since disease starting in front of the tonsils are considered "oral" disease, while those arising in back of the teeth are "oropharynx" problems.
The Tonsils and Base of Tongue are in this oropharynx, along with the tissue making up the back of the throat (called the "posterior pharyngeal wall").
It is critical to get prompt diagnosis and proper treatment for an "oropharynx" cancer problem, this can literally make the difference between life and death. Understanding your options will give you the peace-of-mind that you have done everything possible to ensure a successful outcome for yourself or a loved one.
