Doctors said that oral cancer can be cured in 80-90% of patients. They also named the first symptoms of the dangerous disease.

In addition to smoking, risk factors for its development include alcohol and HPV, and the disease is often diagnosed in men over 40 years of age.

Dr. Mark Kerner noted that adenoid cystic carcinoma most often affects the salivary glands in the head and neck area. It can cause facial numbness or paralysis, and it grows slowly and is difficult to diagnose.

Symptoms of the disease include weakness, hoarseness, or a mass in the head or neck. Also, due to pathology in the salivary glands, oral cancer can cause facial muscle weakness, trouble swallowing, as well as discharge from the eyes and other vision problems.

Doctors added that patients often complain of difficulty breathing, skin discharge with pus or blood, and also notice lumps in the chest. ACC is accompanied by dull pain, there are neoplasms on the palate or under the tongue, which are accompanied by numbness of the upper jaw.
