Mouth cancer is cancer seen from outside, so it is easy to identify in the initial stage. If you know in time, then treatment becomes easy and the chances of saving life increases.

Now such tests have also come, which can be investigated without much pain or trouble. Fluorescence imaging and AI technique may hold early symptoms of oral cancer quickly. This facility is especially useful for those places where doctors have less reach.

Dr. Pramod Kumar, a specialist at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi, says, a new test ‘Lollipop Test’ or ‘Swab Test’ catch cancer signs quickly through saliva. This method is easy, fast and accurate, so it is considered very useful for early identity.

If the cancer is detected in the first phase, then the patient is about 80-90 percent likely to survive for 5 years. But if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, then this possibility remains less than 10 percent.

If you get teeth and mouth tested every 6 months or a year, then the initial symptoms of cancer can be caught in time. According to research, patients who do so are more likely to save their lives.

If the cancer is revealed in the third or fourth stage, the treatment becomes difficult and long. Many times radiation and chemotherapy are required with surgery.

If there is a change in a wound, white or red spot, lump or voice in the mouth, see a doctor immediately. In the initial stage, treatment makes treatment easier and also saving lives.
