Abstract

Oral cavity cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting the head and neck region. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for improving patient survival and quality of life. This paper reviews the main risk factors, diagnostic methods, and current treatment options for oral cavity cancer. Diagnostic approaches include clinical examination, imaging techniques, and biopsy procedures, while treatment strategies range from surgery and radiotherapy to chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Emphasis is placed on early detection, multidisciplinary care, and advancements in therapeutic approaches to enhance patient outcomes.

Keywords
