ORAL CANCER

Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, significantly impacting health. Head and neck cancers rank as the sixth most prevalent cancers worldwide. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the predominant malignancy in this category, posing a significant health concern due to its high mortality and often late-stage diagnosis. The significance of early detection by your dentist and appropriate screening measures cannot be overstated, as they play a pivotal role in improving survival rates and reducing the disease burden.
Early-stage carcinomas typically go unnoticed due to the absence of symptoms, leading to late-stage diagnoses characterized by pain, bleeding, and other severe symptoms. The prognosis is poor once the disease progresses to advanced stages. Early detection relies heavily on clinical examination and biopsy. Recognizing the subtle clinical signs in the early stages can significantly alter the treatment outcomes and improve survival rates.
