Mouth cancer can develop in several areas of the oral cavity, including the tongue, gums, lips, inner cheeks, and the roof or floor of the mouth. The exact treatment depends on both the tumor’s location and the stage of the disease. In its early stages, surgery is often the first line of defense. Doctors remove the tumor, sometimes along with a margin of surrounding tissue to ensure no cancer cells remain. When larger portions of tissue are taken, reconstructive surgery may be necessary. Surgeons may use pedicle or free flap procedures to rebuild affected areas, helping restore both function and appearance. Radiation therapy is another common treatment option. It uses high-energy beams to target and kill cancer cells in the affected region. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) is the most frequently used form. It directs radiation from outside the body onto the tumor site with precision. Some patients may undergo brachytherapy, an internal radiation treatment. In this method, radioactive material is placed directly near the tumor to deliver targeted doses. The goal of both radiation approaches is to destroy cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This balance is critical, given the oral cavity’s role in speech, chewing, and swallowing. Ultimately, the treatment plan is tailored to each patient’s specific case, combining surgery, radiation, or additional therapies as needed. Close monitoring and supportive care remain essential throughout the recovery process.
