Oral cancer is a serious health concern involving the mouth and throat. It occurs when abnormal cells in these areas grow uncontrollably, forming tumors. Smoking, tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and the human papillomavirus (HPV) are common risk factors. Symptoms may include mouth sores, pain, difficulty swallowing, and changes in voice. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, often involving surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Regular dental check-ups and lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and moderating alcohol intake can help reduce the risk. Understanding oral cancer is essential to promote awareness, prevention, and early intervention for better outcomes.

In the fight against oral cancer, organizations like the Oral Cancer Foundation play a pivotal role. They are dedicated to raising awareness, supporting patients, and funding research to improve prevention, early detection, and treatment of this challenging disease.
