Treatment
Treatment depends on the exact type of cancer, where it is and how far it has spread. Your doctor will discuss your treatment options with you.
Surgery
Surgery is a common way of managing mouth cancer. The aim is to remove the cancer completely. The part of your mouth that the specialist may remove depends on where the cancer is and where it has spread. If the cancer has been found early then it may be very small. This means that it may be possible to have treatment as a day case, with no need to stay overnight in hospital. You may have a local or a general anaesthetic. If the cancer is larger and the surgery is more extensive, you will need to stay in hospital to be treated.
