About Mouth / Oral Cancer
Oral cancer refers to cancerous growths in any part of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, floor of the mouth, and inner cheeks. It’s often a type of squamous cell carcinoma that develops from the flat cells lining the oral cavity. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, as survival rates are significantly higher when found early.
