क्या हर मुँह का छाला कैंसर होता है? | Is every ulcer in the mouth cancerous? | Dr Amit

This is one of the most questions asked by patients and all their relatives. In this video, Dr. Amit Chakraborty (Consultant Surgical Oncologist and head and neck cancer specialist at Amit Cancer Care) will explain to us Is every ulcer in the mouth is cancerous?

The answer to this question is, No. Every ulcer in the mouth is not cancerous. If an ulcer in the mouth does not heal for more than three weeks, is painful as well as bleeds when you touch it, then there are chances it might be a symptom of mouth cancer. The best possible way to ensure that the wound is not an ulcer is to visit an oncologist. The cancer specialist will perform necessary tests such as Physical examination MRI , CT Scan and if required Biopsy. Oncologists take a small portion of the ulcer in a biopsy and then it is tested and then it is confirmed if the ulcer is cancer or not. Early Mouth cancer detection can cure cancer completely without any chemotherapy and radiation.
