Показать описание
Oral tumors can affect various structures in the mouth, such as lips, gums, bones and tongue, although they can sometimes be benign. When these tumors are malignant we refer to oral cancer.
Introduction: 00:00.
Where in the mouth can cancer appear? 00:06.
Oral tumors can affect various structures in the mouth, such as the mucosa, palate, floor of the mouth, tongue, lips, gums and bones.
Causes of mouth cancer 00:23.
There are various triggers or carcinogenic agents such as tobacco, alcohol, radiation, human papillomavirus, etc. Cancer occurs when carcinogenic agents act on cells, altering their genetic material, producing a mutation. These damaged cells can divide and multiply excessively in the body.
Types of oral tumors 00:53.
Normally, the body controls the division and growth of cells, but if the balance of cell division and death is disturbed, a tumor can form. A tumor can be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). A cancerous area can spread to another organ different from the one in which it started, by blood or lymphatic routes. This process is called metastasis.
How to prevent oral cancer:
It is important to have regular check-ups at the dentist, to detect possible injuries that may go unnoticed in time, until the degree of progress complicates the treatment.
