About Oral Cancer Surgery
Oral cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, and floor of the mouth. Common symptoms include a mouth ulcer that does not heal, a lump inside the mouth, red or white patches, difficulty chewing or swallowing, and unexplained bleeding. Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and certain other factors can increase the risk of oral cancer. Early diagnosis is important for timely treatment. Oral Cancer Surgery is a common treatment option for removing cancerous tissue from the mouth. Depending on the size and location of the tumour, surgery may involve removing the affected tissue, nearby lymph nodes, or other involved structures. In some cases, reconstructive surgery may be needed to help restore the appearance and function of the mouth. Additional treatments, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy, may be recommended depending on the cancer stage and the patient’s condition.
