Yes you can.It can be caused by tobacco,alcohol,sun and if you have had a previous head and neck cancer you are at an increased risk of developing another one.These usually occur on the tissues of the lip and tongue.They can also occur on the cheek lining,floor of mouth,gums and the roof of the mouth.Cure rate is approx 75--80% 5 yr if found early and 50% 5 yr if it has spread to lymph nodes or other adjacent structures
