What is Oral Cancer?
Oral cancer is a type of head and neck cancer
that affects the mouth. It can form in
the lining of the cheeks, gums, roof of the
mouth, tongue, and lips. Oral cancer symptoms can
often be the signs of other less serious
illnesses, so it is important to consult your
doctor or dentist if you are experiencing any
of these changes in your oral health. During
your annual dental check-up, your dentist will
also screen for oral cancer. Those who use
tobacco products may receive a more in-depth
screening based on their risk. Anyone can get
oral cancer, but the risk is higher if you are
male, over age 40, chew tobacco or drink alcohol
or have a history of head or neck cancer.
Frequent sun exposure is also a risk for lip
cancer.

• Treatment of Oral Cancer
• Surgery
• Surgery to remove the tumor  Your surgeon may
• cut away the tumor and a margin of healthy tissue
  that
• surrounds it. Smaller cancers may be removed
  through
• minor surgery. Larger tumors may require
  more-extensive
• procedures.
• Surgery to remove cancer that has spread to the
  neck  If cancer cells have spread to the lymph
  nodes in your neck, your surgeon may recommend a
  procedure to remove cancerous lymph nodes and
  related tissue in the neck (neck dissection).
• Surgery to reconstruct the mouth  After
  anoperation to remove your cancer, your surgeon
  may recommend reconstructive surgery to restore
  the appearance of your face or to help you regain
  the ability to talk and eat.
• Maxillectomy  Maxillectomy is the removal of
  the hard palate if that is affected. A special
  denture called prosthesis can alter the defect
  caused in the hard palate resulting from the
  surgery. Mouth's surgery involves removal of thin
  sections of lip tumors. Immediate examination of
  the sections for potential cancer cells allows
  the surgeons to decide whether or not the cancer
  is completely removed.
• Laryngectomy  Laryngectomy is the surgical
  removal of larynx (voice box). This is done when
  there is risk of food entering the trachea and
  infecting the lungs, as a result of removal of
  tumors of tongue or oropharynx. By removing the
  larynx, the trachea is attached to the skin of
  the neck thus eliminating the risk of infecting
  the lung and potential pneumonia.

• Neck Dissection  Neck dissection is a surgical
  procedure involving removal of lymph nodes in the
  neck that are known to contain cancer cells. The
  side effects of this surgery include numbness of
  the ear, difficulty in raising the arm above the
  head, discomfort to the lower lipall of which
  are caused by different nerves involved in the
  surgery.
• Tracheostomy  Tracheostomy is an incision made
  in the trachea to facilitate breathing for oral
  cancer patients who may develop considerable
  swelling following surgical removal of the tumor
  in oral cavity. This prevents any obstruction in
  the throat and allows easy breathing.
• Radiotherapy  Radiotherapy uses doses of
  radiation to kill cancerous cells. It may be
  possible to remove the cancer using radiotherapy
  alone, but it is usually used after surgery to
  prevent the cancer from re-occurring.
• Internal radiotherapy  Internal radiotherapy is
  a type of radiotherapy often used to treat
  cancers of the tongue that are in their early
  stages. It involves sticking radioactive wires or
  needles directly into the tumour while you are
  under a general anaesthetic (put to sleep). The
  wires or needles then release a dose of radiation
  into the tumour.
• Chemotherapy  Chemotherapy is often used in
  combination with radiotherapy when the cancer is
  widespread, or if it is thought there is a
  significant risk of the cancer returning.
  Chemotherapy involves the use of powerful
  cancer-killing medicines.
