Spotting the warning signs of potentially precancerous malignant oral lesions
Precancerous oral lesions are changes in the tissues of the mouth that could potentially develop into oral cancer if left untreated. These changes can appear on the tongue, inside the cheeks, on the roof or floor of the mouth, or even on the lips. While the presence of such lesions does not necessarily mean you will develop cancer, they indicate a risk that should be taken seriously. We speak to a leading oral & maxillofacial surgeon Dr Barbara Carey, who explains the warning signs of precancerous oral lesions.
