Oral cancer

Oral cancer, also known as mouth cancer, is characterized by abnormal cell growth in the mouth, including areas such as the floor of the mouth, hard palate, gums, inside lining of the lips and cheeks, lips, and tongue. It commonly starts as a painless white patch that thickens and develops red patches and ulcers or as a persistent crusting ulcer on the lips, with symptoms including difficulty or pain when swallowing, new lumps in the neck, swelling in the mouth, and numbness in the mouth or lips.
