What is Oral Cancer?
Oral cavity cancer typically features one or more non-healing wounds on the tongue, in the floor of mouth, or along the inner cheek. These lesions can be painful and may bleed, but in some cases they do not cause significant discomfort.
The most important thing to note is that sores in the mouth, whether they are related to trauma or a variation of canker sores, should fully heal within a few weeks. If this does not occur, it’s time to see a doctor. Left untreated, cancers of the oral cavity can be devastating. And early detection is critical to successful outcomes.
The team at Head and Neck Institute is widely recognized for treating oral cancers. Mount Sinai was one of the early adopters of TransOral Robotic Surgery (TORS) and conducts extensive research on robotic surgery outcomes.
