Growths in the oral cavity, on the tongue, lips and gums, as well as the saliva gland and tonsils are common in cases of mouth cancer. If it metastasizes, this cancer will damage the lymphatic system, as well as your head and lungs. It’s more common in men than women who are over 40. Quitting cigarettes and reducing alcohol consumption can drastically decrease the risk of contracting it.
