Oral Cancer Research:

Oral tumor appears as a growing or sore in the mouth that does not go away. Oral cancer, which clinches cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and pharynx (throat), can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. The most collective symptoms of oral cancer include:

• Swellings/thickenings, lumps or bumps, rough spots/crusts/or eroded fragments on the lips, gums, or further areas inside the mouth
• The extension of velvety white, red, or speckled (white and red) patches in the mouth
• Apparent bleeding in the mouth
• Unsolved numbness, loss of feeling, or pain/tenderness in any area of the face, mouth, or neck
