Overview And Clinical Background
Oral cancer commonly affects the tongue, cheeks, and gums.
Early detection significantly improves outcomes.
- Key point: Linked to tobacco, alcohol, and HPV infection.
- May begin as a small sore or lesion that doesn’t heal.
- Third point: Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of management.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Symptoms include persistent ulcers, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing.
Swelling or lumps in the mouth may indicate deeper invasion.
- Common symptom: Non-healing mouth ulcer or pain.
- Difficulty speaking or chewing.

Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Diagnosis includes biopsy, imaging, and staging scans.
Early-stage cases can often be managed surgically alone.
- Imaging: CT or MRI to assess tumor spread and depth.
- Lab tests: Histopathology confirms malignancy type.
- HPV testing may be done for certain cancers.

Surgery aims to remove cancer completely with safe margins.
Reconstruction restores appearance and function.
- Conservative: Small lesions treated with local excision.
