Oral cancer refers to malignant tumours that develop in the tissues of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, floor of the mouth, palate, and the inner lining of the cheeks. It is a serious condition that can spread to nearby structures and, if not detected early, to the lymph nodes of the neck and beyond, significantly affecting swallowing, speech, and overall quality of life. Key risk factors include tobacco use in any form, heavy alcohol consumption, infection with high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), prolonged sun exposure to the lips, and a history of oral submucous fibrosis or leukoplakia. A thorough assessment combining clinical history, physical examination, imaging, and tissue biopsy is needed to understand the extent of disease and guide appropriate management.
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
