Surgery is a common treatment for oral cancer. This is done to remove as much cancer as possible. You must be healthy enough to have surgery for this to be a good option for you. Some types of oral cancer cannot be removed with surgery. It depends on where the tumor is, how big it is, and whether it has spread beyond the point of origin. Reconstructive surgery is also sometimes required. This is done to repair the damage caused by the removal of the tumor. It will help your body to regain function and form. Your doctor will talk with you about your options.
