Answers:
Oral squamous cell carcinoma affects about 30,000 Americans each year!. Ninety percent are smokers!. Alcohol is also a risk factor!. Early, curable lesions are rarely symptomatic; thus, preventing fatal disease requires early detection by screening!. Treatment is with surgery, radiation, or both!. The overall 5-yr survival rate is 52%!.
Several types of HPV, particularly type 16, have been found to be associated with oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinoma, a form of head and neck cancer!.

Skin lesion, lump, or ulcer:
* May be a deep, hard edged crack in the tissue
* Most often pale colored, may be dark or discolored

A friend fell and bit his tongue and it didn't heal, went to dr, tongue cancer!. He's alive and well now but dr!. said he caught it early!. Another friend, she was a health nut, had a lump in the middle of her tongue, she refused all treatment!. My husband is just going through tonsil cancer treatments, he is Stage IV but expected to live!. I think the most important thing is GET IT CHECKED ASAP!. It can't hurt if it's nothing, it could save your life if it is!. If you do have it, it can be removed (the bad area), radiation and/or chemo!. It may be somewhere else!. Look up head and neck cancer, there is tons of info!. But first go to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor NOW NOW NOW!. Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
