Understanding Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer
Cancer is a formidable adversary that affects millions of lives, and among its various forms, Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer pose significant challenges. At SRM Foundation, we stand by those battling these specific types of cancer, offering support and resources to alleviate the burdens faced by needy individuals.
Oral Cavity (Mouth) Cancer:
The oral cavity, or simply the mouth, plays a crucial role in communication, nutrition, and overall well-being. Oral cavity cancer can manifest in the lips, tongue, gums, and other areas within the mouth. It often begins as abnormal cell growth, presenting as persistent sores, lumps, or red/white patches. Understanding the risk factors, including tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, is vital in prevention and early detection.
Oropharyngeal (Throat) Cancer:
Oropharyngeal cancer affects the back of the throat, including the tonsils, base of the tongue, and soft palate. This type of cancer is often associated with the same risk factors as oral cavity cancer, emphasizing the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle and regular screenings. Symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, persistent throat pain, and changes in voice.
