A study of 30 people with buccal mucosa cancer found 53% of them were alive five years after treatment. In about half of the people, the cancer returned. This is a small study and may not reflect your individual outlook.
Survival rate: The survival rate represents the proportion of people who are still alive for a length of time after receiving a particular diagnosis.
5-year relative survival rates for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. These numbers are based on people diagnosed with cancers of the oral cavity (mouth) or oropharynx (the part of the throat behind the mouth) between 2012 and 2018.
The overall 5-year survival of the cohort was found to be 54.1%. The stage-wise survival rate for tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) Stage I, II, III, and IV patients was found to be 85.2%, 82.9%, 56.3%, and 42.6% (P < 0.00), respectively.

Oral cavity cancer is rated as the sixth most common cancer worldwide. 1 The overall survival rates remain low, between 40 and 66%. 2 In this regard, tumor size and cervical metastasis (CM) at diagnosis are considered as the most important prognostic factors. 3 Surgery is the treatment of choice for resectable cancers.
In this study, the disease-specific 5-year survival rate depending on primary site varied from 34.85 months to 56 months and tongue and lower alveolar lesion showed significant difference in survival as most of the tongue lesion presented in early T Stage; however, buccal mucosa also showed near statistically significant and retromolar trigone ...
Research. Oral Cancer 5-Year Survival Rates by Race, Gender, and Stage of Diagnosis. Oral cancer survival rates have increased approximately 27 percent (nearly 15 percentage points) from the mid-1970s until the latest (2012–2018) National Cancer Institute survey.
The buccal mucosa is the lining of the cheeks and the back of the lips, inside the mouth where they touch the teeth. The use of tobacco and alcohol makes cancer in this area far more likely. The disease is treated with surgery, chemotherapy or both.
Results. Seventy-seven patients with buccal SCC were matched with 77 non-buccal OCSCC controls. The median follow-up time was 27 months (IQR 14–61). Median age was 67 years (IQR 57–75) and 53% of the cohort was female. Twenty (26%) buccal SCC patients experienced a recurrence versus 19 (25%) in the controls.
