Oral cancer is a growing concern in India, especially due to tobacco and gutkha use. But did you know that many early signs can be detected at home? Dr. Manoj Dongare, a trusted Surgical Oncologist in PCMC, shares essential tips for self-examination.

 


 

Why Early Detection Matters:

Catching oral cancer early improves treatment success and survival rates. With early diagnosis, you may avoid major surgery or aggressive treatment. This makes regular self-checks very important.

 


 

Step-by-Step: Self-Examination for Oral Cancer

  1. Use a Mirror and Good Lighting:
    Stand in front of a mirror under good lighting. Open your mouth wide and check every corner.

  2. Check the Lips and Gums:
    Look for:

    • White or red patches

    • Ulcers that don’t heal

    • Swelling or unusual lumps

  3. Inspect Inside of the Cheeks:
    Use your finger to stretch your cheek and check for discolouration or rough patches.

  4. Examine the Tongue:
    Stick out your tongue and move it side to side. Look underneath and on the sides for any swelling, sores, or patches.

  5. Roof and Floor of the Mouth:
    Tilt your head back to check the roof (palate) and use your finger to feel the floor under the tongue.

  6. Neck and Jaw:
    Feel both sides of your neck and under the jaw for any lumps or swellings that weren’t there before.

 


 

When to See a Doctor:

If any of the following symptoms last more than 2 weeks, consult a Cancer Specialist in PCMC immediately:

  • Persistent ulcers

  • Bleeding in the mouth

  • Pain while chewing or swallowing

  • Difficulty moving the tongue or jaw

Dr. Manoj Dongare, a leading Oral Cancer Specialist in PCMC Pune, stresses that these symptoms must never be ignored.

If you're in a high-risk group, monthly checks are strongly recommended.
