OverviewBuccal cancer is a malignancy characterized by the development of cells within the buccal cavity or tissues of the mouth. This includes cancers of the pharynx, hard and soft palate, lips, tongue, and cheeks, as well as the floor of the mouth. Squamous cell carcinomas, which originate in the squamous cells lining the buccal cavity, constitute the majority of oral cancers. Tobacco use (including smokeless tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes), excessive alcohol consumption, exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV), poor oral hygiene, chronic irritation (such as from ill-fitting dentures), and a family history of oral cancer are all potential risk factors for the development of oral cancer. Oral cancer must be detected early in order to be successfully treated. Mouth ulcers that persist, oral lumps or swelling, regions of white or red color on the tongue, gums, or lining of the mouth, difficulty swallowing or chewing, and persistent sore throat or hoarseness are all possible symptoms. Consistent dental examinations, self-evaluations, and adjustments to one's lifestyle (e.g., abstaining from alcohol consumption and ceasing smoking) are critical for the prevention and early detection of oral cancer. It is critical to seek the advice of a healthcare professional for assessment and diagnosis if you have any suspicions regarding the presence of oral cancer.
