Can tobacco cause cancer?
High numbers of Oral cavity/mouth cancers can be attributed to rampant Tobacco habits in India. Tobacco in any form is consumed persistently can lead to head and neck cancer.
It is among very critical cancer types which usually have poor outcomes as we deal with close structures in the head and neck region and there is always a chance to harm the nearest organ while treating cancer of one organ.
