Oral Cancer

📖What is Oral Cancer?

Oral Cancer is a malignant growth that can develop in any part of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, and the lining of the cheeks, and is strongly associated with tobacco and alcohol use. It often begins as a white or red patch or a persistent sore that fails to heal, which can be mistaken for minor irritation in its early stages. The disease is particularly prevalent in regions with high rates of smokeless tobacco and betel nut chewing. Early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes, while advanced disease can require extensive surgery affecting speech and eating.
