Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

Stage 1 mouth cancer refers to the earliest point of staging a cancer. This is the earliest stage of invasive cancer. 

It means the cancer is 2cm or smaller and it is 5mm deep or less. It has not spread to nearby tissues, lymph nodes or other organs.

We have information about the stages on our website There is also a main section on mouth cancer

Do ask your hospital team or GP about the treatment plan for you. We can't give you a medical view as nurses but they should be able to help you,

Best wishes,

Vanda
