Stage 1 Mouth Cancer Symptoms

Mouth cancer is a type of cancer that affects the tissues of the mouth, including the lips, gums, tongue, and inside lining of the cheeks. It can occur in any part of the oral cavity, but is most commonly found in the tongue and the floor of the mouth. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of Stage 1 mouth cancer in order to seek prompt medical treatment.

Signs and Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of Stage 1 mouth cancer may include:

• A sore or ulcer in the mouth that does not heal
• White or red patches on the gums, tongue, or lining of the mouth
• Loose teeth
• A lump or swelling on the lip or in the mouth
• Difficulty moving the jaw or tongue
• Difficulty swallowing
• Bleeding in the mouth
• Changes in speech
• Changes in the way the dentures fit
• Sudden weight loss

Diagnosis
If any of the above mentioned symptoms are present, a physician should be consulted immediately. In order to diagnose Stage 1 mouth cancer, a biopsy of the suspected area will be taken. The biopsy will be examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cell growth. In addition, imaging tests, such as an MRI or CT scan, may be used to look for any other areas of cancerous growth.

Treatment
Treatment for Stage 1 mouth cancer will depend on the location and size of the tumor. Surgery is the most common treatment option, and may involve removal of the tumor and some of the surrounding tissue. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may also be used in some cases.

It is important to seek prompt medical attention if any of the signs and symptoms of Stage 1 mouth cancer are present. Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the prognosis for mouth cancer.
