If a patient with oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma is in the middle stage of the disease, preoperative chemotherapy is usually required. If the disease is in early or late stage, preoperative chemotherapy is not needed. Preoperative chemotherapy is the new adjuvant chemotherapy in clinic, the main purpose is to reduce the size of the mass, which is conducive to surgical treatment. If oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma patients are in the middle stage of the disease, preoperative chemotherapy can usually be carried out first, so as to improve the effect of surgical treatment and other subsequent treatments. However, for early-stage squamous oropharyngeal cancer patients, localized treatment is usually adopted and preoperative chemotherapy is not necessary. For patients with advanced squamous oropharyngeal cancer, preoperative chemotherapy is also not taken because the chance of radical treatment of the tumor is lost. Therefore, oropharyngeal squamous cancer patients should choose appropriate treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, etc., according to their actual conditions and after assessment by doctors, in order to control the disease and promote the recovery of health. Patients with squamous carcinoma of oropharynx are advised to adjust their mindset, actively cooperate with doctors and have regular medical checkups. Ensure balanced intake of nutrients in daily life and adopt enteral and parenteral nutrition when necessary to meet the needs of the body.
