Oral Cancers

Oral Cancers

Oral Cancers are malignant tumors that develop in the tissues of the mouth or throat, including the lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, floor of the mouth, and hard or soft palate. They are a significant public health concern, particularly in regions with high use of tobacco, betel nut, and alcohol. Common risk factors include smoking, smokeless tobacco, excessive alcohol consumption, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and prolonged sun exposure to the lips. Early symptoms may include persistent mouth sores, red or white patches, difficulty chewing or swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or lumps in the mouth or neck. Early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates. Prevention strategies focus on reducing tobacco and alcohol use, promoting oral hygiene, HPV vaccination, and regular dental checkups. Public awareness, early screening, and timely treatment are essential to reduce the burden of oral cancers and improve quality of life.
