Oral cancer is part of a group of cancers called head and neck cancers. Oral cancer can develop in any part of the oral cavity or oropharynx. Most oral cancers begin in the tongue and in the floor of the mouth. Almost all oral cancers begin in the flat cells (squamous cells) that cover the surfaces of the mouth, tongue, and lips.

Oral cancer is part of a group of cancers called head
and neck cancers. Oral cancer can develop in any part
of the oral cavity or oropharynx. Most oral cancers
begin in the tongue and in the floor of the mouth.
Almost all oral cancers begin in the flat cells (squamous
cells) that cover the surfaces of the mouth, tongue,
and lips. These cancers are called squamous cell
carcinomas. When oral cancer spreads (metastasizes),
it usually travels through the lymphatic system.

Cancer cells that enter the lymphatic system are carried along by lymph, a clear, watery
fluid. The cancer cells often appear first in nearby lymph nodes in the neck. Cancer cells
can also spread to other parts of the neck, the lungs, and other parts of the body. When
this happens, the new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells as the primary tumor.

Diagnosis of Oral Cancer
Biopsy: This is a painless medical procedure that removes a certain amount of
tissue for a microscopic examination.
Endoscopy: This is a minimally invasive, painless diagnostic procedure used to
visualize interior surfaces of certain organs and cavities.
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scans - PET scans use glucose (a form of
sugar) that contains a radioactive atom.
Computed Tomography (CT): This imaging test is similar to an x-ray test, and
creates a detailed, cross-sectional image of the body.
X-Rays - It shows the location, size, and shape of a oral tumor.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI is an advanced technique that uses
radio waves and strong magnets to reveal a complete image of a targeted area of the
body.
Ultrasonography: Ultrasound imaging is a medical technique that uses high-
frequency sound waves to create an interior image of the body on a special computer
screen

Surgery
Surgery for mouth cancer may include:
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 neckIf 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 mouthAfter an operation to remove
your cancer, your surgeon may recommend reconstructive
surgery to restore the appearance of your face or to help you

Non Surgery
Biological Therapy: The activity of the cancer cells is
changed with the help of biological therapy. A type of
biological therapy is known as Cetuximab that is also
referred to as a monoclonal antibody. The surface of the
cancer cells that triggers the development of cancer cells
is blocked with the help of Cetuximab. Chemotherapy:
This therapy makes use of drugs for destroying the
cancer cells. The injection of these drugs is done into a
vein. Chemotherapy can also be combined with radiation
therapy.
Radiotherapy: This therapy makes use of radiation for destroying cancer cells. This therapy
shrinks the tumor by targeting a beam of radiation onto the cancer cells. Rarely, a
radioactivity source can be implanted in the mouth that is known as Brachytherapy. The
nearby tissues are not damaged by this therapy.
