Oral cancer can affect any area of the mouth and is influenced by risk factors such as tobacco and heavy alcohol use, as well as HPV infection. Symptoms to watch for include non-healing sores, lumps, and unusual red or white patches inside the mouth. Treatment options may involve surgery, radiation, and sometimes chemotherapy.
