  Oral Cavity Cancer
Oral cavity cancer includes many areas of the mouth, like: the lip, alveolar ridge (area right behind the top front teeth), retromolar trigone (small area behind wisdom teeth), under the tongue, buccal mucosa (the lining inside the lips and cheeks), the tongue and hard palate.
The treatments for Oral Cavity include surgery and radiation, though there are a few alternative Oral Cavity treatments that can be researched upon.
Cancer of the lip and oral cavity is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the tissues of the lip or mouth.

The most common cancer of the oral cavity is called squamous cell carcinoma and arises from the lining of the oral cavity.
Following the treatment of cancers in the oral cavity with surgery, radiation therapy chemotherapy or combinations of these, several important functions of the oral cavity may be severely affected.
After treatment of a cancer in the oral cavity has been completed, it will be important to watch not only the area where the cancer originally began but also other areas of the body to make sure there are no signs of the tumor coming back.

 Oral Cancer Health Guide - University of Maryland Medicine
Oral cancer is cancer found in the oral cavity (the mouth area) and the oropharynx (the throat area at the back of the mouth).
When patients newly diagnosed with oral and oropharynx cancers are carefully examined, about 15 percent will have another cancer in nearby areas such as the larynx (voice box), esophagus (the part of the digestive system between the throat and stomach), or lung.
For this reason, it is very important for patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer to have follow-up examinations for the rest of their lives and avoid risk factors, such as smoking and drinking, which increase the risk for these second cancers.

 Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Depending on the site and extent of the primary tumor and the status of the lymph nodes, the treatment of lip and oral cavity cancer may be by surgery alone, radiation therapy alone, or a combination of these.
For lesions of the oral cavity, surgery must adequately encompass all of the gross as well as the presumed microscopic extent of the disease.
Radiation therapy for lip and oral cavity cancers can be by external-beam radiation therapy or interstitial implantation alone, but for many sites the use of both modalities produces better control and functional results.
