== Overview ==
There are no [[x-ray]] findings associated with oral cancer. However, a [[Chest X-ray|chest x-ray]] may be helpful in diagnose [[metastases]] to the [[lungs]], a site for spread and [[metastasis]] to [[Hilum|hilar]] [[lymph nodes]], [[ribs]], or [[vertebrae]]. [[Jaw]] [[radiography]] may show invasion but may be inadequate to exclude [[bone]] invasion.
