At a workshop coordinated by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Oral Cancer and Precancer in UK issues related to terminology, definitions classification of oral precancer were discussed an expert group. The consensus views Working Group are presented here. term, ‘potentially malignant disorders’, was recommended refer as it conveys that not all disorders described under this term may transform into cancer. Critically evaluating proposed so far leukoplakia, agreed leukoplakia should be used...
Head and neck cancers (HNCs) continue to remain a significant public health burden worldwide, causing mortality morbidity despite clinical advances enabling their early diagnosis treatment.We used data from the GLOBOCAN 2012, Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, World Health Organization Mortality Database Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results programmes describe current epidemiology of HNCs.Estimated age-standardised incidence/mortality rates for lip oral cavity among males females...
The mouth and oropharynx are among the ten most common sites affected by cancer worldwide, but global incidence varies widely. Five-year survival rates exceed 50% in only best treatment centers. Causes predominantly lifestyle-related: Tobacco, areca nut, alcohol, poor diet, viral infections, pollution all important etiological factors. Oral is a disease of dispossessed, reducing social inequalities requires national policies co-ordinated with wider health initiatives - risk factor approach:...
Studies on the possible association between bacteria and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain inconclusive, largely due to methodological variations/limitations. The objective of this study was characterize species composition as well functional potential bacteriome associated with OSCC. DNA obtained from 20 fresh OSCC biopsies (cases) deep-epithelium swabs (matched control subjects) sequenced for V1-V3 region using Illumina's 2 × 300 bp chemistry. High quality, non-chimeric merged...
Results from microbiome studies on oral cancer have been inconsistent, probably because they focused compositional analysis, which does not account for functional redundancy among bacteria. Based prediction, a recent study revealed enrichment of inflammatory bacterial attributes in squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Given the high relevance this finding to carcinogenesis, we aimed here corroborate them case-control involving 25 OSCC cases and 27 fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) controls Sri Lanka....
In a review of strategies for preventing oral cancer, an expert panel reports that the use tobacco (both smoking and smokeless), areca nut exposure, heavy alcohol consumption are major contributors to this illness.
A case‐control study on chewing and smoking habits oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) was undertaken in Karachi 1989/90. Cases were patients detected with fibrous bands leathery mucosa hospital‐based controls matched by age sex. Information collected personal interview of 157 cases controls. Despite overall female preponderance, a substantial number young men enlisted. The male/female risks found to be similar. Immigrants from India Pakistan (Mohajir) had similar risk status local Punjabis. No...
Background: This case–control study aimed to identify the risk factors for oral cancer in patients aged 45 years and under. Methods: Patients were recruited over a 3‐year period between 1999 2001 from 14 hospitals southeast of England, UK. Results: Fifty‐three (80%) newly diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cavity participated. The mean age cases at diagnosis was 38.5 (SD = 7.0) 53% male. interviewed about main tobacco, alcohol, cannabis their consumption fresh fruit vegetables...
