Today is World Cancer Day and, for this reason, we want to talk to you about one of the most frequent types of cancer in the maxillofacial region: oral cancer or mouth cancer.<\/p>\n

Prevention of oral cancer is the most important step<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The best measure to prevent oral cancer is to avoid risk factors, such as tobacco, alcohol, solar radiation, ill-fitting dentures, etc. It is essential that the patient is examined periodically, and before the detection of any injury, consult the specialist in maxillofacial surgery<\/strong> quickly. They will decide what is the most appropriate course of action: whether a biopsy, imaging tests, etc.<\/p>\n

Are there people with a higher risk of developing oral cancer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In general, men over 40 years of age, those most exposed to irritating factors that favor it,<\/strong> such as alcohol or tobacco, and those who have some warning sign or symptom, tend to have a higher risk of suffering from the disease<\/strong>. However, some patients present tumors in the oral cavity without having any risk factor and, for this reason, early detection of oral cancer becomes more relevant and will be essential for the prognosis of said disease.<\/p>\n
