Cancer gum

Cancer gum is a type of gum disease that is caused by the presence of cancer cells in the gums. It is usually found in individuals who have a weakened immune system due to cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, or who have cancer that has spread to the mouth. Cancer gum can cause redness, swelling, and bleeding in the affected area. It can also cause pain when chewing and difficulty eating. The gums may also become discolored or have a thick, white layer. In some cases, lesions or ulcers may develop on the gums. The exact cause of cancer gum is not known, but it is believed to be related to the presence of cancer cells in the gums. Treatment for cancer gum typically involves a combination of therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or immunotherapy. In some cases, medications may also be used to help reduce inflammation in the gums. Cancer gum can be a serious condition, so it is important to seek medical attention if you experience any of the symptoms described above. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to reduce the risk of further complications.
