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

- However, a chest x-ray may be helpful in:
