What is Tonsil Cancer?
  • Tonsil cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that
    develops in a tonsil. Your tonsils are two
    oval-shaped pads at the back of your mouth that
    are part of your body's germ-fighting immune
    system.
  • Tonsil cancer could cause difficulty swallowing
    and a sensation that something is caught in your
    throat. Tonsil cancer is often diagnosed late in
    the disease, when cancer has spread to nearby
    areas, like the lymph nodes in the neck.
  • Treatments for tonsil cancer involve surgery,
    radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

  • Causes Of Tonsil Cancer
  • Tonsil cancer develops when healthy cells in the
    tonsils develop changes in their DNA. A cell's
    DNA consists of the instructions that tell a cell
    what it should do. The changes tell the cells to
    grow out of control and to continue living when
    healthy cells would generally die. The
    accumulating cells form a tumor that could grow
    beyond the tonsils and spread to other areas of
    the body.
  • It is not clear what causes tonsil cancer, but
    doctors are finding that human papillomavirus
    (HPV) is increasingly playing a role. This common
    sexually transmitted infection is found in most
    tonsil cancers in the United States. Tonsil
    cancer caused by HPV tends to happen at a younger
    age and is more likely to respond well to
    available treatments.
