This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet (NIH Publication No. 03-1574) has important information to help people with oral cancer and their family and friends better understand this disease. It discusses possible causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. It also has information about rehabilitation and about sources of support to help patients cope with oral cancer. Scientists are studying oral cancer to learn more about this disease, and doctors are exploring new ways to treat it. This research keeps increasing our knowledge about oral cancer. The NCI provides the most up-to-date information by telephone and on the Internet:

This article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be used for medical advice. Please read this Oral cancer represents approximately 3% of all cancers. This, however, translates to 30,000 new cases every year in the United States. The single greatest risk factor is tobacco. While cases of oral cancers are seen in patients who do not use tobacco, these constitute a very small percentage of all oral cancers. All forms of tobacco have been implicated as causative agents including cigarette, cigar, and pipe tobacco as well as chewing tobacco. In India and Sri Lanka, where chewing tobacco is used with betel nuts and reverse smoking (placing the lit end in the mouth) is practiced, there is a striking incidence of oral cancer- these cases account for as many as 50% of all cancers! Heavy alcohol usage is an additional causative factor. Lip cancer, while included in statistics for oral cancer, is more similar to skin cancers. Sun exposure is the primary cause of these, while pipe smoking is also a factor. Cancers of the mouth present in various forms. Any persistent white patch must be regarded as being suspicious. Additionally, velvety red patches- particularly those with white speckles- should be areas of concern. Finally, any non-healing ulcer (erosion) merits evaluation. More often than not, these areas are painless.

Carmona, MD, MPH, FAC Surgeon General U.S. Public Health Service Oral Health Problems: Painful, Costly, and Preventable Mouth and throat diseases, which range from cavities to cancer, cause pain and disability for millions of Americans. This fact is disturbing because almost all oral diseases can be prevented. For children, cavities are a common problem that begins at an early age. Tooth decay affects more than one-fifth of U.S. children aged 2–4, half of those aged 6–8, and nearly 60% of those aged 15. Low-income children are hardest hit: about one-third have untreated decay. Untreated cavities may cause pain, dysfunction, absence from school, underweight, and poor appearance—problems that can greatly reduce a child’s capacity to succeed in life. Tooth decay is also a problem for U.S. adults, especially for the increasing number of older adults who have retained most of their teeth. Despite this increase in tooth retention, tooth loss remains a problem among older adults. One fourth of adults over age 60 have lost all of their teeth, primarily because of tooth decay, which affects 95% of all adults, and advanced gum disease, which affects about 1 in 4 adults. Tooth loss has more than cosmetic effects—it may contribute to nutrition problems by limiting the types of food that a person can eat.

Public Press Profession Public home Search: Whole site Links FAQs for: Healthy lifestyles Cultural groups Diagnosis Treatment Living with Mouth Cancer Facts Links The Foundation coordinates Mouth Cancer Awareness Week each November. Mouth cancer, sometimes called oral cancer, can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks and throat. Every year in the UK, there are 4,300 new cases, and 1,700 deaths. Other countries have similar figures. The number of new cases is on the rise, but deaths could be reduced if the disease was spotted early enough. The main problem is that many people do not visit their dentist for regular check-ups. Mouth cancer is particularly common in people over 40 who smoke or drink alcohol. However, younger people who do not fall into any obvious risk group can fall victim to the disease. It can appear in all parts of the mouth, tongue and lips, whether you have your own natural teeth or wear false teeth (dentures). If mouth cancer is diagnosed in its early stages it can respond well to treatment and the outcome can be good. For patients diagnosed with mouth cancer the first reaction is often shock, perhaps even denial. This is a critical time and patients need to reach out for help, appropriate care and management.

What is oral cancer? Oral cancer is cancer found in the oral cavity (the mouth area) and the oropharynx (the throat area at the back of the mouth). Oral cancer, which can be deadly, is diagnosed in approximately 30,000 Americans each year, according to the American Cancer Society. The oral cavity includes the following: the lips, teeth, and gums Oral Cancer Facts When patients newly diagnosed with oral and oropharynx cancers are carefully examined, about 15 percent will have another cancer in nearby areas such as the larynx (voice box), esophagus (the part of the digestive system between the throat and stomach), or lung. Another 10 to 40 percent will develop cancer of one of these organs or a second cancer of the oral cavity or oropharynx at a later time. For this reason, it is very important for patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer to have follow-up examinations for the rest of their lives and avoid risk factors, such as smoking and drinking, which increase the risk for these second cancers.

Alternative Names: Cancer - mouth; Mouth cancer; Head and neck cancer; Squamous cell cancer - mouth Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Oral or mouth cancer most commonly involves the tissue of the lips or the tongue. It may also occur on the floor of the mouth, cheek lining, gingiva (gums), or palate (roof of the mouth). Most oral cancers look very similar under the microscope and are called squamous cell carcinomas . These are malignant and tend to spread rapidly. The exact cause is unknown. Smoking and other tobacco use are associated with 70-80% of oral cancer cases. Smoke and heat from cigarettes , cigars, and pipes irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth. Use of chewing tobacco or snuff causes irritation from direct contact with the mucous membranes. Heavy alcohol use is another high-risk activity associated with oral cancer.
