Oral cancer most often develops in people over 40 years old.
While diagnosing oral cancer, there are several diagnostic tests that are used to determine cancer’s location, size, and stage including:
• X-rays to see if cancer cells have spread to the jaw, chest, or lungs.
• CT scan to reveal any tumors in your mouth, throat, neck, lungs, or elsewhere in your body.
• PET scan to determine if cancer has traveled to lymph nodes or other organs.
• MRI scan to show a more accurate image of the head and neck, and determine the extent or stage of cancer.
• Endoscopy to examine the nasal passages, sinuses, inner throat, windpipe, and trachea.
