Oral Mucosal Cancer
Oral Mucosal Cancer
Oral mucosal cancer is an epithelial-derived malignant tumor that occurs in the oral mucosal tissue. It can occur in various parts such as the buccal mucosa, gingiva, hard palate, tongue, and floor of the mouth, with the tongue being the most common site, followed by the gingiva and buccal mucosa. Broadly, oral mucosal cancer includes lip cancer, intraoral cancer (such as tongue cancer, gingival cancer, etc.), and oropharyngeal cancer (such as base of tongue cancer, tonsil cancer, etc.). This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly individuals, with a higher incidence in males than females. The main symptoms include induration and masses in the oral cavity, with persistent non-healing ulcers on the surface, accompanied by pain.
