Overview
X Ray
- There are no x-ray findings associated with oral cancer.
- However, a chest x-ray may be helpful in:
- To diagnose Metastases in the lungs.

- As a preanesthetic check
- To demonstrate metastasis to hilar lymph nodes, ribs, or vertebrae.
- Jaw radiography may show invasion but may be inadequate to exclude bone invasion.
