Oral cancer primarily affects the digestive system and, more specifically, the mouth and oral cavity. This type of cancer can develop in various parts of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, gums, inner lining of the cheeks, roof of the mouth (palate), and the floor of the mouth. It may also involve the tonsils and throat (pharynx), which is part of both the digestive and respiratory systems.
The development of oral cancer is often associated with risk factors such as tobacco use (including smoking and chewing tobacco), excessive alcohol consumption, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and a history of chronic irritation or trauma to the oral tissues. Regular dental check-ups and early detection are essential for the successful treatment of oral cancer.
