Un tipo de cáncer en la categoría de cáncer de cabeza y cuello, el cáncer oral puede ocurrir en cualquier parte de la boca, incluidos los labios, las encías, la lengua, el revestimiento interior de las mejillas o el techo o el piso de la boca. Existen varios tipos de cánceres orales, pero la mayoría son carcinomas de células escamosas. A menudo, el cáncer oral se descubre solo después de que ha hecho metástasis (se ha diseminado a otra ubicación), generalmente los ganglios linfáticos del cuello.
