Oral Cancer Signs 1 article

Oral Cancer Signs focuses on clinical findings and symptoms that should raise concern for possible malignancy and prompt timely assessment. Persistent ulceration, unexplained lumps, red or white patches, non-healing extraction sites, unexplained bleeding or numbness, dysphagia and cervical nodes can be important when they persist or lack a benign explanation. None of these findings is diagnostic on its own. The purpose is early recognition of suspicious features and appropriate referral, not population screening in general or confirmation of cancer from clinical appearance alone.
