Which oral cancer is associated with the highest mortality?

Lip
Tongue
Palate
Gums

The correct answer is: Tongue

Oral cancer can occur in various parts of the mouth, but it is important to note that tongue cancer has the highest mortality rate among all types of oral cancer. This is because the tongue is a highly vascular and mobile organ, making it easier for cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body. Although lip, palate, and gum cancers are also serious, they do not have as high mortality rates as tongue cancer. So even though options A, C, and D are all types of oral cancer, they are not associated with the highest mortality like option B (tongue cancer) is.
