Oral Cancers Skin Disorders |
|
Mouth cancers : Oral Cancers affect various parts of the oral cavity, including the mouth (floor, roof, tongue, gums, and cheeks) lips, tonsils and the upper part of the throat. The cancer cells invade and destroy the local structures, using blood and lymphatic channels that spread to and destroy other parts of the body.
There are many forms of Oral Cancers, but the most common are cancers of the lining of the oral cavity called squamous cell carcinoma.
The sides of the tongue (closest to the back of the throat), is the most common site, followed by the area under the tongue, and finally, the cheeks.
Adenocarcinomas are rare cancers of small salivary glands (glands that produce saliva).
Other rare forms include Lymphoma, Leukemia, and melanomas.
