Newswatch Last Updated: Thursday, 7 July, 2005, 03:58 GMT 04:58 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Hope over oral cancer saliva test More than 4,000 cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year Saliva bacteria could be used in a simple test to diagnose oral cancer, US researchers say. A team from the Forsyth Institute and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston found three types of bacteria were present in more than 80% of cases. The cancer is often diagnosed late usually during dentist examinations followed by testing of tissue samples. Cancer Research UK said the findings were "exciting" and if confirmed could lead to a screening programme. Lead researcher Donna Mager said: "Finding bacteria associated with oral cancer encourages us to hope that we have discovered an early diagnostic marker for the disease. "If future studies bear this out, it may be possible to save lives by conducting large scale screenings using saliva samples." It raises the prospect of a quick, easy, diagnostic test

Click here to visit the American Thyroid Cancer Website. Squamous Cancer of the Lip is often related to exposure to the sun, wind, and the elements. Here in Texas there is a high incidence of this in farmers, ranchers, telephone linemen, fishermen, golfers, and outdoorsmen in general. And some folks will get this cancer without any predisposing factor. This tumor usually appears as a non-healing ulcer at the junction of the middle third and outer third of the lower lip. Sometimes a non-cancerous, but non-healing raw area will be persistent for many months before an actual cancer is formed. There are many ways to treat cancer of the skin It may be frozen, it can be cauterized or burned, it can be treated with radiation, it can be treated with acid, creams, solutions, ointments. But we believe the surest, most direct, most efficient treatment for Squamous Cell Cancer of the lower lip is surgical removal. This is usually performed as on outpatient under either local or general anesthesia, that is to say, awake or asleep. There are some changes in the local anatomy, but nothing very significant in most cases. Large or advanced cases, on the other hand, may require extensive surgery and plastic/reconstructive procedures to give the patient his or her best chance at cure of the disease and, at the same time, a good looking lip that works well. In a very small percentage of cases, the cancer will have spread to the lymph glands of the neck. In those cases removal of those lymph glands is necessary. This is called a "neck dissection". Finally, even more rarely, radiation therapy may be considered as a part of the treatment plan.

Friday, September 09, 2005 News Index Business Earning Announcements Management Changes ... San Francisco News : Medical News PreViser Adds New Oral Cancer Risk Assessment Tool to the Oral Health Information Suite(TM) Published: Thu, 7 Jul 2005, 07:55 EDT Edited by Christopher Simmons Staff Writer, Send2Press.com MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - July 7 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) PreViser Corporation (www.previser.com) announces a major enhancement to their Oral Health Information Suite(tm), incorporating a new tool designed to assess risk for oral cancer. Caption: Within the Oral Health Information Suite, PreViser currently offers two sets of coordinated diagnostic decision support tools that address the majority of diagnostic treatment decisions made in dentistry. "With a disease like oral cancer, early detection is vital for successful treatment," says Carl Loeb, CEO of PreViser. "Our technology allows dentists to easily determine oral cancer risk, while producing individualized patient risk information that can guide the decision to conduct more expensive and invasive testing if risk is found to be elevated. Applying our tool's risk assessment capability to oral cancer is a significant step in helping to prevent this serious disease." The number of new cases of oral cancer annually exceeds 28,000 (2% of all types of cancer), and annual deaths total more than 7,000 (1% of all cancer deaths). The good news is that the likelihood of successful treatment is excellent if the disease is detected in its early stages. The bad news is that oral cancer is frequently detected only after it has progressed to an advanced stage, when the patient experiences symptoms and visual signs are readily apparent to the dentist. More bad news is that the 5-year survival rate is less than 60% and has remained unchanged for decades. PreViser's technology is designed to identify patients at elevated risk of disease, so that they can be more thoroughly examined.
