Definition: The word "adenostoma" refers to a type of oral cancer that is caused by the growth of benign tumors (benign) on the gums or soft tissue, such as the lips, cheeks, or tongue. An adenostoma typically forms over an area where there may be inflammation and redness. It can appear anywhere in the mouth, but it most commonly affects the front part of the mouth, including the corners of the mouth (the "frontal region"). The adenostoma itself is a benign tumor that grows slowly until it causes significant discomfort or pain when touched. Treatment options for adenostomas include surgery to remove the tumor and improve its location, as well as radiation therapy. In some cases, chemotherapy may be used to target the specific cancer cells and prevent them from spreading throughout the body. It's important to note that while adenostoma can cause discomfort and pain, it is often managed with oral care, such as maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, by brushing your teeth twice daily, using mouthwash, and avoiding sugar and sugary foods.
