Buccal Mucosa (Cheek) Cancer Treatment in Chennai

in Chennai · Led by both surgeons

Buccal mucosa cancer (inner cheek) is strongly linked to tobacco and areca-nut use and is common in India. Wide excision with margins, neck dissection where needed, and reconstruction restore form and function.

Signs & symptoms

  • A non-healing ulcer on the inner cheek
  • A growth or thickening
  • Restricted mouth opening (trismus)
  • Pain while chewing
  • A white/red patch that changes

A mouth sore, patch or lump that lasts more than two weeks should be reviewed. Early assessment saves lives — book a consultation.

How we treat it

  • Wide local excision (frozen-section margins)
  • Marginal / segmental mandibulectomy if bone involved
  • Neck dissection
  • Reconstruction & dental rehabilitation
