Abstract
What is oral cancer? It is cancer of any area of the mouth -gums, cheek, tongue, inside the throat, or lips. Oral cancers are found on the tongue, the bottom or roof of the mouth, in the tonsils, on the salivary glands, and in the back of the throat. They can affect your speaking and eating ability, and can permanently disfigure your face. About half of all oral cancer patients die within 5 years, even with treatment.
