Oropharyngeal cancer affects the part of the throat just behind the mouth, including the tonsils and the base of the tongue. It's a condition that can be elusive, with symptoms ranging from a sore throat that doesn't go away, difficulty swallowing, and unexplained weight loss to a lump in the back of the mouth or throat.

A significant risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer is HPV (Human Papillomavirus). The virus has been linked to a rising number of cases, changing the demographic trends and affecting individuals at a younger age than traditionally seen with tobacco-related cancers.

Don't wait. 📞Contact OMHNA at 773-245-5253 for screening and expert advice.

The History of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) for Oral Cancer

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) has changed the way we diagnose and treat oral cancers. First introduced in the 1970s, SLNB became a key tool in the 1990s, allowing surgeons to identify the first lymph node oral cancer is likely to spread to. This has helped reduce the need for more invasive surgeries, allowing for precise staging and better treatment outcomes.

Today, SLNB is crucial for detecting the spread of oral cancer, leading to more targeted and less invasive treatments.
