The symptoms of oral cancer generally include localized ulcers, accompanied by pain, bleeding, and local infection. The tumor itself can cause bleeding symptoms, such as in ulcerative oral cancer, where the ulcer may gradually enlarge and easily cause bleeding during eating. It is recommended that patients undergo localized radiotherapy treatment, primarily aimed at stopping bleeding. Cancer treatment can also be conducted simultaneously, resisting tumor growth, and also helping to stop the bleeding.

Do people with oral cancer experience weight loss?

Oral cancer is a serious threat to human life among oral diseases, and its early symptoms are not particularly obvious, so it is necessary to remind people to pay attention. In addition to some local ulcers, patients with oral cancer have neoplastic cancer tissue growing at the ulcer base. The cancer tissue will develop and damage the masseter and chewing muscles, and it will also cause dysphagia and speech disorders, as well as lead to lymph node metastasis. As cancer cells grow and develop rapidly, they consume a large amount of the body's energy, so patients with oral cancer will experience significant weight loss in the later stages. At this time, in addition to cancer treatment, supportive symptomatic treatment is also needed to enhance the body's resistance.

Can oral cancer be detected by taking X-ray images?

Clinically, oral cancer in patients can be detected through imaging. Oral cancer is a general term for a major category of malignant tumors in clinical settings, including tongue cancer, lip cancer, buccal mucosa cancer, gingival cancer, and cancer of the oral floor, among others. Imaging can reveal the size of oral cancer tissues, the scope of involvement, the adjacency to surrounding tissues, and the extent of invasion into surrounding tissues, thus clarifying the range of the oral cancer lesions. However, to diagnose oral cancer clinically, imaging examinations alone are insufficient. A tissue biopsy of the oral cancer lesions is also required to obtain pathological results for a definitive clinical diagnosis. Once diagnosed, imaging is then used to assess the clinical stage of the patient, and individualized anti-tumor treatment measures are taken based on different stages.

Can oral cancer be cured?

Once oral cancer is diagnosed, it is confirmed as malignant, and only a certain proportion of patients with early-stage disease can be cured. After the diagnosis of oral cancer, surgery is the preferred treatment option. It involves the removal of the clearly defined tumor within the mouth, and if necessary, dissection of the lymph nodes in the neck. After radical resection, adjunctive radiotherapy and chemotherapy are commonly used to improve disease control. Some early-stage patients can be cured after undergoing the above treatments. However, when oral cancer progresses to a certain extent, even after radical surgery and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the risk of recurrence and metastasis remains high, making it incurable.
