AB Oral  cancers  are  malignant  neoplasias  that  arise  on  the  lip  or  within  the  oral  cavity.  The  malignant  lesion  may  originate  as  a  primary  lesion,  as  a  metastasis  from  a  distant  organ,  or  by  extension  from  a  proximate  site.  Early  symptoms  include  nonhealing  ulcers,  indurated  areas,  erythematous  or  white  patches,  swelling  or  enlargement,  discolorations,  dental  mobility,  hoarseness,  and  oral  bleeding.  If  the  lesion  goes  undetected,  the  symptoms  can  progress  to  airway  obstruction,  paresthesias  of  the  tongue,  otalgia,  trismus,  lymphadenopathies,  blurry  vision,  and  persistent  pain.
