Frequently asked questions
Are mouth ulcers always cancer?
No. Most ulcers are harmless, but any ulcer that does not heal within three weeks should be examined by a specialist.
Will surgery change my appearance?
Modern reconstructive techniques restore both appearance and function. Our surgeons plan reconstruction alongside cancer removal.
