Over 750 new intra‐oral squamous cell carcinomas are registered in Australia each year. In this article, the authors review the epidemiology, aetiology, genetics and spread of intra‐oral squamous cell carcinoma. The mechanisms of field cancerization are discussed. The prevention of intra‐oral squamous cell carcinoma is highlighted and future treatments are presented.
