Yes, it can: But it needs to be caught early and treated accordingly. The larger the lesion, the more of your hard and soft tissue needs to be removed to excise the tumor.

ENT doc: Yes. The medical specialist with the most expertise in oral cancer is the ENT doc. In some areas, oral & maxillfacial surgeons are superior. Get a referral.

Oral cancer: Historically the death rate associated with this cancer is particularly high not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but due to the cancer being routinely discovered late in its development. - See more at: http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/facts/#sthas If you think you have oral cancer do not delay in getting a biopsy and/or treatment early. See your dentist/oral surgeon NOW!
