Buccal Carcinoma
Buccal carcinoma is a cancer that originates in the buccal mucosa, which is the lining of the cheeks and lips. It is a form of oral squamous cell carcinoma, which is the most common type of oral cancer. The most common signs of buccal carcinoma include sores that don't heal, persistent mouth pain, and swelling of the cheek or jaw. Treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy. Early detection of buccal carcinoma is essential for successful treatment and to reduce the risk of metastasis. Patients with buccal carcinoma need to have regular medical check-ups, including an examination of the mouth and tongue, to monitor for any recurrence or progression of the disease.
