Soft Palate Cancer

Soft palate cancer is a type of oropharyngeal cancer that affects the roof of the mouth. It can cause lumps, lesions, and soreness, impacting speech and swallowing. Early diagnosis and treatment, which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, can significantly improve the chances of survival and quality of life. Avoiding tobacco and reducing the risk of HPV infection can help lower the risk of developing soft palate cancer.
