TUMOR

A tumor is a lump that grows under the skin or inside the bone. It grows slowly but steadily, usually without any pain.

If the swelling does not get better after 5 days of antibiotics and heat treatment, it may be a tumor.

TREATMENT:

Do not waste any more medicine or any more time. A tumor may be cancer. Send for medical help. Surgery is needed to remove a tumor.

CANCER

Any sore that does not heal may be cancer. The lips and tongue are the two places in the mouth where cancer starts most often.

Cancer is deadly. Medicine cannot help. It wastes time to use it.

Cancer can spread quickly to the inside of the person's body where you cannot see it. This can lead to the person's death.

TREATMENT:

Whenever you treat a sore and it does not get better, send the person for medical help immediately. A doctor can cut out a piece from the sore, look at it under a microscope, and decide if it is cancer.
