Globally, Cancer is major health problem and one of the most common deadly health problems. In the United States, 25% of deaths are caused only by cancer. Mouth and oropharynx cancer is the fast growth of abnormal cells that may be developed in the lips, gum, tongue, oropharynx, oral cavity, piriform sinus, or hypo-pharynx. Universally, it is the twelfth most common part of the body that can develop cancerous tumor [].

Mouth and oropharynx cancer became a major health problem nowadays; thus, everyone should recognize the different types of tumors, the types of the oropharynx and mouth’s …show more content…
For instance, squamous cell carcinoma, glandular tissue, lymph tissue, and melanomas are the most common types of cells that made up the mouth and oropharynx. Nine from ten mouth and oropharynx cancers’ patients are affect by the squamous cell carcinoma, a layer of cells that covers the mouth entirely. This type considered dangerous because it forms a malignant tumor. On the other hand, one from ten is diagnosed as benign such as salivary gland cancer, adenoid cystic cancer (a benign tumor occurs in the glandular tissue), lymphoma cancer (a tumor that developed in the lymph nodes’ cells), and …show more content…
Normally, they are innocuous; however, disregarding these two conditions can end up with developing cancer in these areas. Leukoplasia, also called leukoplakia, is a small white spot typically occurs in the mouth, while erythroplakia is a red bloody patch that usually found in the mouth. Dentists call these atypical cells, leukoplasia and erythroplakia, dysplasia. Dysplasia should be treated and removed as soon as the doctor diagnoses a patient. Additionally, the statistics shows that erythroplakia is more likely to form cancer than
