Soft Palate Vs Hard Palate Cancer! What Are the Differences

Your soft palate is located behind your teeth at the upper part of the rear of your mouth. The cells of the soft palate are where soft palate cancer grows. People of all ages can be affected by it. However, certain individuals may be more vulnerable to getting soft palate cancer than others. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery are the available treatments for soft palate cancer, as they are for other forms of oral cancer.

What causes cancer of the soft palate?

A genetic change in healthy cells results in soft palate cancer. The mutation causes the normal cells to become aberrant. Your healthy oral cells typically grow and proliferate at a certain rate. However, aberrant cells continue to proliferate and reproduce unabatedly. A tumour develops as a result of an accumulation of aberrant cells.

What raises one’s risk of developing soft palate cancer?

Your risk of developing soft palate cancer may be impacted by the following factors:

· Using tobacco products

· Excess consumption of alcohol

· taking medicine that lowers immune response

· Being a human papillomavirus carrier (HPV)

What’s Hard Palate Cancer?

When the cells that make up the bony portion of the roof of the mouth grow out of control and develop lesions or tumours, hard palate cancer, a type of head and neck cancer occurs. Between the mouth and the nasal cavity, the hard palate acts as a barrier. When they become more advanced, cancers that start there often move into the nasal cavity.

Use of tobacco products and excessive alcohol consumption can raise your risk of hard palate cancer. Hard palate cancer symptoms are usually first identified by dentists, often during a routine dental check-up.

Signs and symptoms of hard palate cancer:

· Symptoms of hard palate cancer to watch out for include:

· loose teeth or improperly fitting dentures

· Numbness in the face and upper teeth.

· Having trouble opening the mouth (trismus).

· A feeling of fullness in the mouth’s roof.

· Speaking challenges (dysarthria).

· Oral bleeding that occurs repeatedly

· Discomfort or difficulty in swallowing

Palate Cancer Treatment With GEIPE:

If you have been diagnosed with palate cancer and looking for a safe palate cancer treatment option, you can give GEIPE a try. GEIPE (Gentle Electrotherapy to Inhibit a Pivotal Enzyme) is a non-invasive, non-surgical, and painless method of treating palate cancer that involves delivering mild electrical pulses to the cancer cells. The device is intended to halt the growth of cancer cells while causing no harm to normal cells. It is a one-of-a-kind, low-cost, and innovative method of treating cancer that is free of the side effects and complications that are common with chemotherapy and surgery.
