What is Oral Cancer?
Oral cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that develops in the tissues of the mouth. It can occur on the tongue, gums, inner cheeks, lips, floor of the mouth, or the roof of the mouth (palate). Common risk factors include tobacco use, smoking, alcohol consumption, and HPV infection.
Early diagnosis is critical because treatment outcomes improve significantly when oral cancer is detected in its initial stages. Seeking timely medical attention for persistent oral symptoms can help ensure better recovery and quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Oral Cancer
Non-Healing Mouth Ulcer
A mouth sore that does not heal within two weeks should be evaluated by a specialist.
White or Red Patches in the Mouth
Persistent patches inside the mouth may be an early warning sign of oral cancer.
Difficulty Swallowing
Pain or difficulty while swallowing can indicate changes in the oral or throat region.
Persistent Mouth Pain
Continuous pain or discomfort in the mouth should not be ignored.
Lump in the Neck
Swollen lymph nodes or a lump in the neck may suggest the spread of disease.
Change in Voice
Persistent changes in speech or voice quality may require further evaluation.
