Abstract

Oral cancers

Author(s): Charlie Wang

Because each patient presents the treating doctors with a different set of issues, the care of oral cancer is a multidisciplinary endeavour that affects both survival and quality of life. The care of oral cancer is the main topic of this essay. We emphasise the epidemiology of oral cancer in Australia, its risk factors, the numerous clinical manifestations that might develop, and its staging. Surgery continues to be the basis of therapy in the great majority of patients. Oncology and radiation therapy are frequently utilised adjuvantly. From the early discovery to optimising pre-treatment oral health and managing the short- and long-term aftereffects of therapy, dental professionals play a key role in various stages of care. A crucial responsibility is to monitor for recurrence and the emergence of new primary tumours [1].
