Can stage 4 oropharyngeal cancer be surgically removed, or it is too late?

Usually not: Chemo_radiation is usual treatment for stage 4 disease.

Depends on the type: Oropharyngeal cancer can be removed and treated. I have recently had two patients have successful treatment of stage four oropharyngeal cancer and are both in remission. Get under the care of a good university based program and make sure the treating surgeons and oncologists meet regularly to treat your type of cancer with the latest methods. Good luck!
