Oral cavity cancer is a malignant growth that occurs in the tissues of the mouth, including the lips, gums, tongue, floor of the mouth, and inner cheek lining. It is a common type of head and neck cancer and requires timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent progression and preserve vital functions like speech, chewing, and swallowing.
What is Oral Cavity Cancer?
This cancer starts in the mucosal lining of the oral cavity and can invade surrounding tissues and lymph nodes if left untreated. Early detection significantly improves treatment success and patient quality of life.
Symptoms
- Persistent ulcers or sores that don’t heal within weeks
- Pain or difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking
- Red or white patches (erythroplakia/leukoplakia) on oral tissues
- Lump, thickening, or swelling in the mouth or neck
- Numbness, bleeding, or unusual sensations in the mouth
Causes & Risk Factors
- Tobacco use (smoking and chewing)
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection
- Poor oral hygiene and dental issues
- Chronic irritation from dentures, rough teeth, or chemical exposure
Diagnosis
- Detailed clinical examination and thorough medical history
- Biopsy of suspicious lesions for histopathological confirmation
- Imaging studies like CT scan, MRI, or PET-CT to assess tumor size and spread
- Molecular profiling in advanced cases to guide targeted therapies
Treatment Options
- Chemotherapy:Systemic drugs to kill cancer cells or reduce tumor size
- Targeted Therapy: Precision drugs that attack specific cancer pathways
- Immunotherapy:Boosting the patient’s immune system to fight cancer cells
Prognosis & Follow-up
Early diagnosis and treatment improve survival rates and functional outcomes. Regular follow-up is essential for detecting recurrence, managing treatment side effects, and supporting rehabilitation for speech and swallowing functions
