Oropharyngeal cancer develops in the back of the throat including the base of the tongue and tonsils. It is increasingly linked to HPV infection. An MRI may show changes in the oropharynx consistent with a mass. Finding oropharyngeal cancer early may allow for treatment before it spreads to lymph nodes or surrounding structures. MRI is well-suited for assessing oropharyngeal tumours and nodal disease in the neck, complementing clinical examination and endoscopy.
