Hard and soft cancer: the most neglected “invisible enemy” of the mouth

In oral cancer, soft and hard tumours are relatively rare but extremely dangerous malignant tumours. Since the position of soft and hard-tongues is more hidden and early symptoms are often not visible, such cancers are often difficult to detect by the patient himself, and many are diagnosed only when the condition is more serious. This paper will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the symptoms, risk factors, diagnostic methods and treatment options for soft and hard cancer.I. What’s soft and hard cancer? Soft and hard tumours are malignant tumours that occur in the mouth of the mouth, including hard and soft tumours. It is a hard part at the top of the mouth, consisting mainly of bones and soft tissues, while it is at the back of the hard-on, consisting mainly of muscles and soft tissues and connected to the throat and throat. Molybdenum cancer is usually caused by carcinoma of the scavenger cell in the gill, which leads to malignant tumours.Hard and soft plaster cancers usually show different symptoms, but both are one of oral cancers with many similarities between the symptoms and the treatment. Hard and soft plaster cancers are often detected at a later stage because of the covert and early symptoms.II. Early symptoms of soft and hard cancer may be similar to common oral problems and therefore easily ignored. The following symptoms are common:Oral ulcer: The continuous ulcer or trauma in the larvae, which cannot be healed for long periods of time, and the irregular edge, may be an early sign of cancer.Swollen swollen swollen: Unidentified swollen swollen swollen swollens may appear in the soft and hard swollen swollen and may increase as the condition progresses.Continuing oral pain: The pain in the larvae may increase when swallowed, spoken, eaten. Pain is usually continuous and difficult to alleviate through conventional drugs.The difficulty of swallowing: When the tumor grows to a certain extent, it may affect the function of swallowing, leading to the patient feeling uncomfortable when eating or drinking water.Nasal sound or nasal cavity abnormalities: Soft carcinoma may affect the normal connection of the oral and nasal cavity, leading to a nasal or nasal endocrine abnormality.Mouth stench: The growth of cancer cells and ulcer can lead to a bad stench of mouth, and regular mouth cleaning cannot be removed.The lymph nodes of the neck are swollen: soft and hard lymph cancer may be transferred through the lymph system, resulting in lymph nodes of the neck that are swollen, and a hard or painful neck.Hemorrhage: When a tumor breaks or an ulcer occurs, the patient may have symptoms of haemorrhage, especially when eating or brushing his teeth.III. The occurrence of soft and hard cancer risk factors is closely related to the following factors:Smoking: Smoking is one of the main risk factors for oral cancer. Carcinogenics in tobacco can stimulate oral mucous membranes in the long term, increasing the risk of carcinoma.Alcohol consumption: The risk of soft and hard cancer can be significantly increased in the long-term use of alcohol, especially when combined with smoking. Alcohol irritation and damage to oral mucous membranes provide an enabling environment for the growth of cancer cells.Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection: HPV, especially type 16 virus, is considered to be an important cause of oral cancer, especially soft plaster cancer. The HPV infection can be transmitted through oral exposure, and long-term infections can lead to oral cancer.Poor oral hygiene: Long-term oral diseases such as palsy and chorditis, in particular untreated chronic oral inflammation, may provide growing soil for cancer cells.Immunisation is low: patients who are treated for immunosuppression, such as those suffering from AIDS or organ transplants, are less functional and are vulnerable to various viruses and bacteria, thus increasing the risk of cancer.Genetic factors: The population with oral cancer is more likely to suffer from soft and hard cancer. Although the role of genetic factors in the incidence of cancer is more complex, it is not negligible.Chronic mechanical irritation: Long-term wear of inappropriate dentures, bad gnawing, etc. can lead to chronic trauma in the larvae, leading to cancer.iv. Early symptoms of soft and hard cancer diagnosis are not typical and are often similar to common oral ulcer or dental inflammation and therefore need to be identified through a professional examination. Common diagnostic methods include:Clinical examination: Oral surgeons usually check for symptoms such as swelling, ulcer or abnormal colour changes in the larvae through oral examination, contact. If a suspicious disease is detected, further examinations are arranged.(b) Active examination: When an oral examination reveals an abnormal swelling or ulcer in the larvae, the doctor conducts a pathological examination of a small part of the tissue through a biopsy to determine whether it is a malignant tumor.Visual examination: To determine if the tumor is spreading to a nearby area, doctors may recommend CT scans, MRI or X-rays to understand the specific location and size of the tumor.lymph nodes: Soft and hard lymph cancer is usually transferred through the lymph system, and the swelling of lymph nodes in the neck is an important basis for the diagnosis of soft and hard lymph cancer. Ultrasound or CT examinations can help the doctor to assess whether lymph nodes are affected.V. The treatment of soft and hard cancer is usually dependent on the stagening of cancer, the physical condition of the patient and the transfer of cancer cells. Common treatment methods include:Surgery: Surgery is the most common method of treatment for soft and hard cancer, which is more limited. Doctors try to retain the function of the tumour to remove the carcinogenic tissue, depending on the size, location and extension of the tumor.Radiotherapy: Release is an effective option for patients with residual cancer cells remaining after surgical removal, or in cases where the tumor cannot be surgically removed. Radiation can kill cancer cells and slow the growth of tumours.Chemotherapy: When cancer has spread to other parts (e.g., neck lymph nodes, lungs, etc.), chemotherapy can be a key part of treatment. chemotherapy can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and slow the progress of the disease.Immunization treatment: Immunization treatment is emerging as a new option for oral cancer treatment. Helping patients to identify and destroy cancer cells by enhancing their own immune system.Targeting treatment: Targeting treatment leads to certain molecular targets in cancer cells through specific drug targets and reduces damage to normal cells is a more precise treatment.VI. The prevention of soft and hard tumours, although the total prevention of tact cancer is difficult, can be effective in reducing its risk through healthy lifestyles and daily testing:Prohibition of smoking and alcohol: Measures to reduce the risk of cancer should be taken as soon as possible to stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption, especially among persons who have been smoking and drinking for long periods.Maintenance of good oral hygiene: regular brushing of teeth, use of dental wires to clean teeth and at least one dental examination per year help to reduce the incidence of oral disease and the risk of cancer.Avoiding mechanical irritation: Avoiding long-term bad oral habits, such as the absence of appropriate dentures, bad gnawing, etc., and chronic damage to the larvae.Immunisation: Maintenance of good eating habits, adequate exercise and increased body immunity contribute to reducing the risk of oral cancer.VII. Summarizing soft and hard cancer is a particular type of oral cancer, with early symptoms often not visible and easily ignored. By understanding their symptoms, risk factors and preventive measures, we can be alert to early detection, diagnosis and treatment. Periodic oral health checks to maintain a healthy lifestyle are an effective way to reduce the incidence of oral cancer. Timely access to medical care is important in the event of symptoms of discomfort such as ulcer, swelling and pain.
