Oral cancers are seen frequently. By 2040, according to the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO), their number will increase by around 40%. Exposure to alcohol, tobacco smoke, human papillomavirus (HPV) or a diet low in fibre is often part of everyday life, which is a risk factor for developing oral cancer. The most common of these is oral squamous cell carcinoma. The most common treatment is primary surgical resection with or without postoperative adjuvant therapy. In addition, various combination therapies including chemotherapy with radiotherapy or immunotherapy are used. Oral cancers are usually detected early but delayed treatment can lead to a bad prognosis and require facial reconstructive surgery. Aim: The aim of the publication was to bring together the latest information on oral cancer in Poland. We wanted to present the division, the most commonly observed symptoms and the proposed treatment. Methods: Analysis of information on oral cancer using PubMed sources, including classification of cancer types, symptoms and possible treatments. Conclusions: Oral cancers are a common problem for the population of Poland. Their incidence is likely to increase over the next decade. The environment, lifestyle and diet have a key influence on their formation. The most common treatment is their resection combined with radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
