A persistent mouth ulcer, unusual growth, white or red patch, unexplained bleeding, pain or swelling should be evaluated by an appropriate healthcare professional, particularly when symptoms do not resolve. These symptoms can have many causes and do not necessarily indicate cancer, but persistent changes should not be ignored.

Dr. Abhishek Subodhai offers specialist assessment for patients with suspected or diagnosed oropharyngeal cancer in Bangalore.
