Abstract

The most common type of cancer in the head and neck area and a global health concern is oral cancer. Oral cancer's precise cause is uncertain. Iron deficiency anemia, alcohol, tobacco, immunologic sensitivity, gene mutations, epithelial cell proliferation, suppressor proteins, and chemotherapy-related diseases, such as lymphoma and leukemia, are among the many risk factors for cancer. There have also been reports of viruses playing a part in the etiology. In certain locations, dietary variables including high fat and low fiber may contribute to carcinogenesis. Because alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of oral cancer, a high prevalence of alcoholism is significant. It has also been suggested that other signaling factors play a part.
