Mouth cancer is more common in smokers than non-smokers (1). Smokers with a history of smoking more than 25 cigarettes per day are also at greater risk of developing this disease (2).

Mouth cancer is also known as oral cancer. There are two main types of mouth cancer: cancers of the lips and cancers of the mouth inside the lips. Cancers on or near a person’s lips are usually called lip cancers, while those that start in another part of their mouth generally don’t spread to other parts of the body unless they develop into distant metastases (distant tumors).

Smoking is the leading cause of oral squamous cell carcinoma in men, but it’s also linked to an increased risk of other types of cancers such as esophageal, laryngeal, and pharyngeal.
Betel nut chewing has been shown to increase your chances of getting oral cancer by about 1%.
Heavy alcohol intake may increase your risk of developing mouth and throat cancers by 5% or more if you consume at least one drink per day (1 drink equals 12 ounces). This includes both beer and wine — although red wine appears to be better than white wine when it comes down to preventing liver damage caused by heavy drinking

The risk factors for mouth cancer are the same as other cancers: smoking, betel nut chewing and heavy alcohol intake. These are all major risk factors for oral cancer. Betel nut chewing is popular in Asia and other parts of the world where it has been used for thousands of years. It’s made from the inner seedpod of a plant called Areca catechu that grows in India and other parts of Southeast Asia.
Smoking is one of the most significant environmental carcinogens known to cause head and neck cancers (HNC). It has also been associated with increased rates of HNC among men who have sex with men (MSM).

Surgery may be needed to remove the cancer, though some people with mouth cancer are able to have their tumors removed by a doctor’s office procedure called endoscopic resection (ER). ER involves cutting out part of your mouth through tiny incisions in various parts of your face, including inside your cheek and gums. The goal is usually to remove as much of the tumor as possible without damaging nearby healthy tissue.
Chemotherapy is another type of treatment that can be used after surgery or when radiation therapy isn’t effective enough alone because they kill any remaining cancer cells while being very effective at reducing risk factors such as smoking or high blood pressure which increases risk for developing certain types cancers too like breast ones…
Knowing your risk factors—and taking steps to reduce them—is key to preventing oral cancer.
To reduce your risk of oral cancer, there are a number of things you can do:
Quit smoking. Smoking increases the risk of head and neck cancers by about 40 percent.
Limit alcohol intake to less than one drink per day for men and women combined (this means no more than 14 drinks per week).
Avoid chewing betel nut or tobacco, which can both cause oral cancer as well as other diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
