Mouth cancer, also known as oral cancer, can affect several organs and tissues within the oral cavity. The most common sites for mouth cancer include: Lips: Cancer can develop on the lips, with the lower lip being more commonly affected than the upper lip. Tongue: Cancer of the tongue can occur on the front (oral tongue) or the base (base of tongue). Tongue cancer is one of the most common types of oral cancer. Gums: Cancer can develop in the gums, often where they meet the teeth. Palate: The roof of the mouth, consisting of the hard palate (front) and the soft palate (back), can be affected by cancer. Cheeks: The inner lining of the cheeks (buccal mucosa) can be a site for oral cancer. Floor of the Mouth: The area beneath the tongue and the floor of the mouth are also common sites for oral cancer. Tonsils and Oropharynx: In some cases, mouth cancer can extend into the tonsils or the oropharynx, which is the part of the throat at the back of the mouth. Salivary Glands: Although less common, cancer can develop in the salivary glands, including the parotid glands, submandibular glands, and sublingual glands, which produce saliva.
the scientific name is oral cancer.
The salivary gland secretes saliva, which is the liquid that allows you to detect the sensation of taste.
