FAQs

Globally, 50% of people who are diagnosed with mouth cancer survive for five or more years after diagnosis, this is virtually unchanged since the 1970's.
However, in stage IV A and B, cancer has reached the lymph nodes and is still only present in the neck region, so doctors may still be able to treat it. Stage IV C mouth cancer indicates cancer has spread to distant organs, so it is difficult to cure.
Oral cancer can present itself in many different ways, which could include: a lip or mouth sore that doesn't heal, a white or reddish patch on the inside of your mouth, loose teeth, a growth or lump inside your mouth, mouth pain, ear pain, and difficulty or pain while swallowing, opening your mouth or chewing.
Oral cancer is fairly common. It can be cured if found and treated at an early stage (when it's small and has not spread). A healthcare provider or dentist often finds oral cancer in its early stages because the mouth and lips are easy to examine. Almost all oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.
Around 60 out of 100 people (around 60%) survive their cancer for 5 years or more after they are diagnosed. Almost 30 out of 100 people (almost 30%) survive their cancer for 5 years or more after diagnosis. Some oropharyngeal cancers are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV).
