Description
Summary:Oropharyngeal cancer typically presents at a nonmetastatic stage and is primarily treated with curative intent. While surgical options are available, they are often associated with significant functional and cosmetic morbidity, leading to a preference for nonsurgical modalities. The updated guidelines address the management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in the Indian context, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. The guidelines detail diagnosis workflows, treatment protocols for early-stage and locally advanced cancers, and the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) status in guiding therapy. Special attention is given to emerging treatment deintensification strategies for HPV-associated cancers, aiming to optimize outcomes while minimizing treatment-related toxicity.
