Oral Cancer | Dr. Pavan Prasad B. K. | Manipal Hospital Jayanagar

Oral cavity cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in India, now increasingly seen among younger adults aged 20 to 50, largely due to tobacco and smoking habits. Dr. Pavan Prasad B. K, Consultant Surgical Oncology at Manipal Hospital Jayanagar, highlights key symptoms such as non-healing mouth ulcers lasting over three to six months, loosening of teeth, bleeding gums, restricted mouth opening, voice changes, and neck swelling. He urges habitual tobacco and gutka users to be vigilant about these warning signs and seek timely medical evaluation. Early detection remains the most effective way to ensure better treatment outcomes.
