Mouth Cancer
Book AppointmentMouth cancer describes cases where a tumour forms on the surface of the tongue, lips, roof or floor of the mouth, inner lining of the cheeks or gums.
When to seek expert advise
If you notice an unusual patch (either coloured red or white) in your mouth, particularly on the inside of cheeks or on the floor of the mouth, get it medically examined by doctors working with the Eye and ENT Service Line at The Aga Khan University Hospital. White patches are also symptomatic of a fungal infection. However, if the lesions are accompanied with oral pain, it may point towards mouth cancer. If you are experiencing numbness in the mouth that persists, make an appointment with the doctor working with the Eye and ENT Service Line.
