Mouth cancer, also known as oral cancer, is a serious medical condition that affects the tissues in and around the mouth. It is a type of head and neck cancer that can develop in the lips, tongue, gums, inside of the cheeks, roof and floor of the mouth, and throat. This disease can be caused by various factors, including tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, as symptoms might not be apparent in the initial stages. Understanding the risks and recognizing the warning signs can help prevent and tackle this potentially life-threatening condition.
One organization actively working to raise awareness about mouth cancer is Mouth Cancer Walk. They are dedicated to supporting research, providing resources, and organizing events like walks to fundraise for mouth cancer prevention, early detection, and patient support.
