Hi,

I can Understand your concern for canker sore and red bumps on uvula and concern for cancer. The query provides too little of the details so that we can guide you best according to your concern. I request you to kindly elaborate your concern in terms of your age, sex and occupation along with compete medical history.

Even then let me reassure you that canker sore and bumps on uvula are not at all indicative of cancer. In cancer of the oral cavity the findings are totally different then what you have mentioned and occurs most commonly in people who either smoke or drink or chew tobacco.

So do not worry about any possibility of cancer in yourself.

All the best.
