What Causes Mouth Cancer and How Is It Treated?
Cancer of the mouth is something that can be prevented because most of the reasons that people contract this disease are related to people's behavior. By smoking a great deal and chewing tobacco or drinking a large amount of alcohol, people increase their risk for mouth cancer immensely. Although there are other reasons that people can contract the disease, if they were to stop smoking and drinking as much as they do, they would lower their risk significantly.Mouth cancer can also be caused by poor oral hygiene. If people are not brushing and flossing their teeth on a daily basis, they are raising their risk of mouth cancer. Some people also do not make regular trips to their dentists. Because of this, they are at risk for mouth cancer because they are not visiting someone who can correct the problems with their teeth that cause chronic irritation. Chronic irritation is another reason that mouth cancer has a chance to develop.If people have contracted the human papilloma virus (HPV), their risk of mouth cancer has been raised. Similarly, if they are taking medications that suppress the immune system, this will also increase their mouth cancer risk. Sometimes, people have more of a chance of contracting mouth cancer but they cannot do anything to lower this danger; males have twice the possibility of developing mouth cancer than females.When to Seek Medical AttentionPeople will be able to tell that they may need to seek medical attention for possible mouth cancer. They may notice sore areas on their lips or their tongues, the most common areas where mouth cancer will occur, but it can also appear on other areas of the mouth. These tumors may be painless because the tumor will not necessarily cause the person pain until the disease has a chance to progress a little further.The Treatment for Mouth CancerOnce the tumor has been detected, the physician will perform a biopsy to determine the nature of the growth. After these tests have been completed, surgery may be done, and if the patient is a candidate, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be added to the treatment plan. These treatments are not an option when the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.
