Cancer is unregulated growth of body cells. If the growth is classified as malignant, it means that the growth can spread across various areas in the body and can usually harm them. Oral cancer usually refers to cancer affecting the mouth and its various parts. There are various things which have the potential to induce cancerous growth in the body. If detected at an early stage they can be treated using various ways including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy. Possible surgical procedures include tumor removal, glossectomy (removal of the tongue), neck dissection (to remove cancer from lymph nodes), and more. The surgical procedure chosen depends on the location of the cancer and its severity. Your oncologist will decide the best suitable treatment for you after diagnosis. If the diagnostic results are positive then treatment should not be delayed.
