Hey, guys, I have a question about oral cancer because it's one of my biggest fears :wacko:
I'm 21, healthy, I don't smoke (and never smoked a single cigarette in my life) or drink alcohol (literally 0 alcohol) and I have a normal/acceptable dental health. The one thing that concernes me it's that sometimes I bite my cheeks while eating and I've read that repeated lesions could lead to cancer...
So... what are the chances of a healthy 21 years old man of getting oral cancer? I mean, it's really a weird thing or it can happen?

What about if you are in your 30s and have had oral sex? What are the chances?

I’ve been worried about the base of my tongue lately. I’ve never smoked or anything and I read about increase of cancers because of oral sex practices. So then I start worrying again. This is for males and females!

What’s the chances?!!

Depends on how many ENTs, GPs, and CT Scans have cleared you....

It’s impossible not to....you inundate every thread about OC with your own story, in addition to all the threads you’ve created about it.

SMH....you’re chasing an answer you’ll never get, instead of pursuing a solution to your real problem.
