  https://www.healthline.com/health/oral-cancer/how-long-does-oral-cancer-take-to-spread

  Oral cancer progression varies by person. In some people, oral cancer may spread rapidly. In others, it may progress at a more moderate pace. […] Progression of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) can be rapid and spread to nearby or even distant regions of the body. […] The primary site of your oral cancer may also determine how likely it is to spread and how far. […] When oral cancer starts to spread, it infiltrates nearby lymph nodes in the neck on the same side as the primary (first) tumor. […] If oral cancer diagnosis and treatment occurs in its early stages, the cancer is less likely to spread. Advanced disease is more likely to spread to nearby structures or distant organs. […] Oral cancer that has spread may cause symptoms in the areas of metastasis. […] If oral cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in your neck, you may notice a lump or swollen area.

  Symptoms of mouth and throat cancer vary somewhat depending on where the cancer is located. […] Mouth cancer is usually painless for a considerable length of time but eventually causes pain as the cancer grows. When pain begins, it usually occurs with swallowing, as with a sore throat. People may have difficulty speaking. Squamous cell carcinomas of the mouth often look like open sores (ulcers) and tend to grow into the underlying tissues. The sores may be flat or slightly raised patches, colored red (erythroplakia) or white (leukoplakia). […] Throat cancer typically causes throat pain that increases with swallowing, difficulty swallowing and speaking, and ear pain. Sometimes, a lump in the neck is the first sign of throat cancer. […] In most types of mouth and throat cancer, once symptoms make it difficult to eat, people begin to lose weight.

  https://www.maxhealthcare.in/blogs/what-do-you-need-to-know-about-oral-cancer

  Oral cancer can have various effects on the body, depending on factors such as the stage of the cancer, its location, and the effectiveness of treatment. Some potential effects of oral cancer on the body include: Localised effects: Oral cancer can cause pain, discomfort, or difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking, or moving the jaw or tongue, depending on its location within the mouth or throat. Spread to surrounding tissues: As oral cancer progresses, it can invade nearby tissues, such as the gums, tongue, throat, or jawbone, leading to further damage and impairment of function. Spread to lymph nodes: Oral cancer can spread to nearby lymph nodes, causing swelling, tenderness, or lumps in the neck. Metastasis to distant organs: In advanced stages, oral cancer can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, liver, or bones, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, jaundice, bone pain, or neurological symptoms. Nutritional deficiencies: Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or appetite loss due to oral cancer can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and weakness.

  About 99 percent of floor of the mouth tumours have an ulcerous form. This means that the tumour invades deep into existing tissue, leaving a „crater”. The tumour grows extremely quickly and is often quite advanced by the time a diagnosis is made. Further, ulcerous tumours tend to develop into metastases. The prognosis for this form of the disease is, therefore, rather negative. […] In only about one percent of all squamous cell carcinomas of the floor of the mouth does the tumour grow outwards at a gradual rate. This form of progression does not tend to lead to the development of metastases. […] If the lymph nodes have not yet been affected, the average five-year survival rate is around 70 percent. However, if metastases have formed in the lymph nodes, the survival rate drops to about 20 to 25 percent.

  Oral cancer can have various effects on the body, depending on factors such as the stage of the cancer, its location, and the effectiveness of treatment. Some potential effects of oral cancer on the body include: Localised effects: Oral cancer can cause pain, discomfort, or difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking, or moving the jaw or tongue, depending on its location within the mouth or throat. Spread to surrounding tissues: As oral cancer progresses, it can invade nearby tissues, such as the gums, tongue, throat, or jawbone, leading to further damage and impairment of function. Spread to lymph nodes: Oral cancer can spread to nearby lymph nodes, causing swelling, tenderness, or lumps in the neck. Metastasis to distant organs: In advanced stages, oral cancer can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, liver, or bones, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, jaundice, bone pain, or neurological symptoms. Nutritional deficiencies: Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or appetite loss due to oral cancer can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and weakness.

  Oral cancer progression varies by person. In some people, oral cancer may spread rapidly. In others, it may progress at a more moderate pace. […] Progression of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) can be rapid and spread to nearby or even distant regions of the body. […] The primary site of your oral cancer may also determine how likely it is to spread and how far. […] When oral cancer starts to spread, it infiltrates nearby lymph nodes in the neck on the same side as the primary (first) tumor. […] If oral cancer diagnosis and treatment occurs in its early stages, the cancer is less likely to spread. Advanced disease is more likely to spread to nearby structures or distant organs. […] Oral cancer that has spread may cause symptoms in the areas of metastasis. […] If oral cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in your neck, you may notice a lump or swollen area.

  Oral cancer is relatively common, with 3% of all malignancies arising within the oral cavity, and it occurs with increasing age. […] This type of tumour spreads by local extension and the destruction of adjacent tissue, with invasion of the tongue and mandible common. Lymphatic invasion with spread to the cervical lymph nodes is common at diagnosis. Haematogenous spread to distant sites such as the liver, bones and lungs may also have occurred at the time of diagnosis. […] Early oral cancer diagnosis is the key prognostic factor in cancer of the floor of the mouth influencing both tumour size and the likelihood of metastatic deposits. […] Improvement in oral cancer symptoms is an important measurement. Specific monitoring may be by thorough serial inspection of the head and neck region looking for oral cancer recurrence as well as second primary oral tumours. The oral cancer symptoms that may require attention are somatic pain from bone metastases, visceral pain from liver or lung metastases and neurogenic pain if nerve tissue is compressed. Coughing and breathlessness from lung involvement may require specific treatment.

  About 99 percent of floor of the mouth tumours have an ulcerous form. This means that the tumour invades deep into existing tissue, leaving a „crater”. The tumour grows extremely quickly and is often quite advanced by the time a diagnosis is made. Further, ulcerous tumours tend to develop into metastases. The prognosis for this form of the disease is, therefore, rather negative. […] In only about one percent of all squamous cell carcinomas of the floor of the mouth does the tumour grow outwards at a gradual rate. This form of progression does not tend to lead to the development of metastases. […] If the lymph nodes have not yet been affected, the average five-year survival rate is around 70 percent. However, if metastases have formed in the lymph nodes, the survival rate drops to about 20 to 25 percent. If distant metastases are found in critical organs or bones, life expectancy is, regrettably, much lower.

  The cure rate for squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth is high if the entire cancer and the surrounding normal tissue are removed before the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. On average, more than 80% of people who have carcinoma of the tongue that has not spread to the lymph nodes survive at least 5 years after the diagnosis. About 75% of people who have carcinoma of the floor of the mouth that has not spread survive at least 5 years after the diagnosis.
