What is Oral Cavity Cancer?

Oral cancer refers to cancerous cell growth in the tissues of the mouth, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, the roof of the mouth, or under the tongue.

It is one of the most common cancers in India, especially among tobacco users. But non-smokers are not exempt. Poor oral hygiene, alcohol use, and even HPV infection are also some oral cancer causes that raise risk levels.

Oral Cancer Treatment

Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta mostly recommends surgery as the first and most effective treatment for oral cancer, especially when the tumour hasn’t spread. Treatment may also include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies to manage the spread and reduce recurrence.

If vital tissues are removed, reconstructive surgery and therapies like speech and swallowing rehabilitation support long-term recovery and quality of life.

In case you chew tobacco, smoke, drink regularly, or feel something is wrong, visit the clinic or call now to book an appointment with Dr. Ranajoy Dutta for effective oral cancer treatment in Kolkata.

    FAQS

    Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

    Is oral cancer only caused by smoking or tobacco use?

    No. Alcohol use, HPV infection, poor oral hygiene, and even genetics can increase your risk, even if you don’t smoke or chew tobacco.

    What are the early signs of oral cancer?

    A mouth sore that won’t heal, red or white patches, unexplained lumps, numbness, or difficulty swallowing could all be early warning signs.

    How is oral cancer diagnosed?

    Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam, biopsy, and imaging tests like CT scans, MRIs, or X-rays to check for spread.

    Is oral cancer treatable if caught early?

    Yes. Early-stage oral cancer has high treatment success rates, especially with surgery.

    Will I need reconstructive surgery after treatment?

    If surgery involves removing vital tissues, reconstructive procedures and therapies can help restore function and appearance.
