Best answer:
About 82% of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer patients survive at least one year after diagnosis. For all stages combined, the 5-year survival rate is 51% and the 10-year survival is rate 48%. These survival rates have not changed much in the last 20 years. The choice of treatment depends mainly on your general health, where in your mouth or oropharynx the cancer began, the size of the tumor, and whether the cancer has spread. Oral cancer treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Some people have a combination of treatments.
