How to Detect Oral Cancer at an Early Stage
Disease description:
A friend told me that oral cancer is serious and advised me to be cautious in daily life, but I don't know how to detect it. How can oral cancer be detected at an early stage?

Early detection of oral cancer is crucial and can be achieved through the following measures:
1. Maintain a high level of vigilance and pay attention to any abnormal changes in the mouth, such as red or white patches, lumps, or ulcers on the oral mucosa, which may be signs of precancerous lesions.
2. Undergo regular oral examinations, including observing changes in the oral mucosa, teeth, and tongue, as well as professional examinations such as oral X-rays and pathological biopsies to detect tumors or suspicious lesions at an early stage.
3. Maintain good oral hygiene and adopt healthy lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, avoiding excessive fatigue and stress, and maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to enhance the body's immune system.
4. If any abnormal symptoms appear or if there is suspicion of oral cancer risk, seek medical attention promptly for relevant examinations in order to achieve early detection and treatment, thereby improving cure and survival rates.
