Following are the risk factors that can increase the risk of developing oropharyngeal cancer.

Type 16 is also associated with oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinoma, a form of throat cancer.

Use of tobacco products and drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of developing oropharyngeal cancer.

Oropharyngeal cancer is a disease which malignant cells form in the tissue of oropharynx.

In 2010 American actor Michael Douglas reported to have oropharyngeal cancer.

Diagnosis of oropharyngeal candidiasis is usually clinical and based on the appearance of lesions.

The treatment for inhalational anthrax also may be used for gastrointestinal and oropharyngeal infections.

Abnormalities of the pharynx and/or oral cavity may lead to oropharyngeal dysphagia.

The central part of cardiogenic area is in front of the oropharyngeal membrane and the neural plate.

An oropharyngeal lesion is a wound or sore spot on the oropharynx, or back of the mouth.

It is rarely the cause of disease in humans, although it may be found benignly in the oropharyngeal area.

For more information from the National Cancer Institute about oropharyngeal cancer, see the following:

Most oropharyngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.

Typically these bacteria gain access after a person aspirates colonizing oropharyngeal microbes into the lower respiratory tract.

Cutaneous anthrax is the most common form, while gastrointestinal and oropharyngeal anthrax are the least common.

Oropharyngeal mucositis.

It is of particular clinical importance because it is a main route by which oropharyngeal infections can spread into the mediastinum.

Oropharyngeal disease:

Oropharyngeal cancer is uncommon and typically involves patients in the fifth through seventh decades of life; men are afflicted 3 to 5 times more often than women.

Higher level practitioners such as emergency medical service personnel may use more advanced techniques, from oropharyngeal airways to intubation, as deemed necessary.

Most schemes also use some further extended skills adjuncts, not normally taught on public first aid courses, such as suction and placement of oropharyngeal airways.

The treatment of OSA in adults with poor oropharyngeal airways secondary to heavy upper body type is varied.

An oropharyngeal airway may be used instead, but these devices frequently trigger a patient's gag reflex, while nasopharyngeal airways usually do not.

Examples of localized candidiasis include oropharyngeal and esophageal disease, vulvovaginitis, and diaper dermatitis.

Half of the infections in the 2001 United States bioterrorist attacks were cutaneous.1 Gastrointestinal and oropharyngeal anthrax are spread by eating contaminated meat products.
