Cancer, oral: A malignant tumor of the mouth area. A sore in the mouth that does not heal can be a warning sign of oral cancer. A biopsy is the only way to determine whether an abnormal area in the oral cavity is cancerous. Oral cancer is almost always caused by tobacco ( smoking and chewing) or alcohol use. Surgery to remove the tumor in the mouth is the usual treatment.
