[en] Oropharynx carcinomas are generally located at the level of palatine tonsil and are characterized by a great frequency of locally advanced steps. The radiotherapy keeps an important place in therapy. This has been demonstrated for a long time because the only surgery, maiming, could not be used in wide localizations. In fact, after the experience of 110 cases, exposed here, and with the comparison of others authors, it is concluded that radiotherapy must be used in first intention, surgery coming after it, only in compensation.
