Oral cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in any part of the
mouth or lips. Most oral cancers start in the lining of the lips
or mouth in the thin, flat cells called squamous cells. Symptoms
for oral cancer include sores or lumps on the lips or in the
mouth. Sometimes white patches that cannot be rubbed off may
develop in the lining of the mouth. Treatment for oral cancer
may include surgery and radiation. eMedicineHealth Medical
