Up until now there are no documented HPV+ cancers that have been located on the movable part of the tongue. Theses types of tumors have been located in the oropharyngeal area which includes the back of the throat, the tonsil area and the base of the tongue (BOT).

I wish you good luck with the results of your latest biopsy and pray that it is not cancer.
