Mouth cancer, a subtype of oral cavity cancer, affects various parts of the mouth including the lips, inner cheeks, gums, tongue, floor, and roof of the mouth. It is a serious condition that requires early diagnosis and effective treatment to preserve essential functions such as speaking, chewing, and swallowing.
What is Mouth Cancer?
Mouth cancer occurs when cells in the tissues of the mouth begin to grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors. If untreated, the cancer may spread locally or to regional lymph nodes, affecting overall health and prognosis.
Symptoms
- Persistent ulcers or sores in the mouth that do not heal
- Pain or difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking
- Red or white patches on the oral mucosa
- Lumps or thickening of tissues inside the mouth
- Numbness, bleeding, or unexplained pain in the mouth or lips
Causes & Risk Factors
- Tobacco use, including smoking and smokeless forms
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- Poor oral hygiene and chronic irritation from dental issues
- Prolonged exposure to harmful chemicals or UV radiation (especially for lip cancer)
Diagnosis
- Thorough clinical examination and detailed medical history
- Biopsy of suspicious lesions for histopathological diagnosis
- Imaging studies such as CT scan, MRI, or PET-CT to evaluate tumor extent and lymph node involvement
- Molecular testing in advanced or recurrent cases to guide targeted therapy
Treatment Options
- Chemotherapy:Systemic drugs aimed at destroying cancer cells or shrinking tumors
- Targeted Therapy: Medications designed to attack specific molecular pathways involved in tumor growth
- Immunotherapy:Treatments that boost the patient’s immune response to fight cancer cells
- Multidisciplinary Approach:: Collaboration with surgery and radiation oncology teams for comprehensive management
Prognosis & Follow-up
Early diagnosis significantly improves prognosis and survival rates. Regular follow-up visits are crucial to detect recurrence early, manage side effects, and assist in rehabilitation of speech and swallowing functions
