A non healing ulcer may turn into cancer.
Symptoms would be growth, pain, bleeding, presence of neck swelling termed as lymphadenopathy.
Ideally a clinical examination and biopsy is required. After seeing tissue under microscope and confirming diagnosis the treatment is given. Lycopen has no additional benefits to avoid cancer.
Next Steps
