Oral Cavity Cancer

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO

The oral cavity represents the entrance to the upper aerodigestive tract, which begins at the lips and ends at the anterior surface of the faucial arch.

  • It is lined by squamous epithelium with interspersed minor salivary glands.

The oral cavity also contains the dentoalveolar structures with the upper and lower dentition.

The oral cavity is continuously exposed to inhaled and consumed carcinogens, and thus it is the most common site for the origin of malignant epithelial neoplasms in the head and neck region.

Known carcinogens in the oral cavity include those present in tobacco, alcohol, and betel nuts.

  • The association of human papilloma virus with oral cancer is not as well established as in oropharyngeal cancers.
