Early pharynx cancer detected incidentally is associated with a relatively good cancer prognosis. Involvement of lymph nodes in the region is associated with a poorer prognosis of the cancer. [myvmc.com]

Prognosis: —The prognosis is always favorable, as the disease is readily amenable to treatment. A severe attack, especially in one of feeble constitution, predisposes to future attacks from simple causes. [henriettes-herb.com]

The depth of infiltration is predictive of prognosis. T - Primary tumour Oropharynx: TX - primary tumour cannot be assessed. T0 - no evidence of primary tumour. Tis - pre-invasive cancer (carcinoma in situ). [patient.info]
