Wood Stoves Linked To Mouth Cancer, Pharyngeal Cancer, Laryngeal Cancer And Lung
784 patients with mouth and throat cancers to 1568 people without cancer.Of the cancer patients, about 48% had mouth cancer, 27% had pharyngeal cancer
http://www.webcom.com/~bi/mouthcancer.htm

Extractions: Thursday January 21 8:07 PM ET NEW YORK, Jan 21 (Reuters Health) Wood burning stoves appear to increase the risk of cancers of the mouth and throat, a study suggests. People exposed to the smoke from such stoves have 2 to 3 times the risk of cancers of the mouth and throat, and the wood stoves may be responsible for 30% of all such cancers, according to the study conducted of 2,352 people living in Southern Brazil. ``Cooking and heating stoves are used in more than half the world's households and have been shown in many locations to produce high indoor concentrations of particulates, carbon monoxide and other combustion-related pollutants,'' reported Dr. Eduardo Franco, of McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and colleagues in the International Journal of Epidemiology. ``Wood and coal fires generate a number of combustion products which are known, or suspected carcinogenic agents.'' Franco, along with Brazilian colleagues, compared 784 patients with mouth and throat cancers to 1,568 people without cancer. Of the cancer patients, about 48% had mouth cancer, 27% had pharyngeal cancer and 25% had laryngeal cancer.

http://www.vh.org/adult/patient/cancercenter/cancertips/teethwhiteners.html

Extractions: Last Revised: January 2005 Teeth whitening is a relatively new cosmetic process. The possibility of long-term ill effects on users of these products has not had extensive study yet. Teeth bleaching products have only recently been widely used. In an August 2004 meeting of head and neck surgeons, researchers reported on two patients, in their twenties, who developed advanced tongue cancer decades earlier than usual. The two patients had a history of repeated use of tooth whitening products. Most oral (mouth) cancers are seen in people over 45 who are long time smokers and alcohol drinkers. The patients seen by the researchers were not drinkers. One of the patients smoked cigarettes infrequently. The researcher suspects that hydrogen peroxide in the whitening gels may be the culprit. Animal studies have shown that peroxide promotes the growth of tumors inside the cheeks of rodents and caused digestive system cancers when ingested. No humans have been tested with peroxide. It was noted by the researcher that while hydrogen peroxide is not a proven carcinogen, it does cause local inflammation and tissue irritation at high concentrations. The complex interactions of the inflammatory response, combined with other factors, have an unpredictable effect on tissues.

Contacts Cancer Research UK to run new mouth cancer campaign Release date: 20 July 2005 Cancer Research UK will launch a three-year campaign in November to raise awareness of the risks and symptoms of mouth cancer, with funding from the Department of Health. Mouth cancer is a growing problem in the UK. More people are being diagnosed with the disease each year and mortality is relatively high. The latest figures show that around 4,400 people get mouth cancer every year in the UK and nearly 1,600 die from the disease. In 2003 mouth cancer killed more people than cervical cancer. Most cases of mouth cancer are preventable. The primary risk factors for the disease are tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption. Sara Hiom, Cancer Research UK¿s Head of Health Information, says: "Although mouth cancer is less common than melanoma, roughly equal numbers of people die from these diseases annually. This reflects the poorer survival rates for mouth cancer. "Many people do not know enough about mouth cancer and its early signs for it to be detected in good time. We hope that improving awareness of the disease will raise survival rates.

Excluding superficial skin cancers, but including cancer of the larynx and thyroid, it is conservatively estimated that about 60,000 people are diagnosed with head and neck cancer annually - about 5% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States.

Extractions: Tobacco use and smoking are very dangerous addictions which commonly cause a wide variety of diseases, cancer and death. The vast majority of tobacco users and smokers are hooked when they are children. During this time period they are easily influenced by peer pressure and advertising. Once hooked, the majority of tobacco users become hopelessly addicted. Studies indicate that nonsmokers are also adversely affected by environmental tobacco smoke. There are 4000 chemicals in tobacco with 100 identified poisons and 63 known drugs which cause cancer. The most talked about drug in tobacco is nicotine. Nicotine is vasoconstrictor and a nerve toxin, it has been classified as a class I insecticide. Other poisons include: Arsenic, Cyanide, Formaldehyde (used to embalm bodies), Ammonia Bromide (a toilet cleaner )- Ref. 1.

Cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, sometimes combined with heavy drinking, are the primary causes of oral cancers in Americans. Other causes include poor oral hygiene, long-term irritation of oral structures or prolonged exposure to sunlight on the lips. Vitamins, particularly Vitamins A and E, may play a role in preventing oral cancer. What are the symptoms of oral cancer?

Causes Cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoking; smokeless tobacco; or excessive use of alcohol. There has been a recent increase in the use of smokeless tobacco in any form, such as plug, leaf, and snuff. However, the most popular with adolescent and young adult males is the practice of "dipping snuff." This tobacco product, in the form of a moist powder, is placed between the cheek and gum. Nicotine and other carcinogens are then absorbed directly through the skin. Incidence Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world (1). The literature indicates that at least 30,000 new cases of oral and oralpharyngeal cancers are diagnosed each year (2, 3). Incidence rates are greater than 2:1 male-to-female for oral cavity cancers, and are greatest in men over age 40 (2, 4).

Oral cancer can affect the cheeks, tongue, mouth and/or throat. Back to Top Who is at Risk? Most cases of oral cancer are related to the use of tobacco and alcohol. Quitting tobacco (or never using it) and limiting alcohol use to one drink per day or less sharply reduces the risk, even after many years of use. This type of cancer is more common in men than women because of drinking and smoking habits. Men over 40 are most at risk. African Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer more often than whites. Other risk factors include eating few fruits and vegetables and contracting human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted disease.

It's not like anything you've seen before. What you may have encountered is an early sign of oral or throat cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 28,000 new cases of oral and throat (oropharyngeal) cancer occur annually in the United States. Oral cancer includes cancer of the lips, mouth, tongue, gums and salivary glands. Throat cancer involves cancer of the part of the throat just behind the mouth. An estimated more than 7,000 Americans die of these cancers annually. Periodic self-examination of your mouth is the best way to detect the early signs of oral cancer. And, when detected early, oral cancer is almost always successfully treated. Unfortunately, many oral and upper throat cancers are far advanced by the time a doctor is made aware of the situation. This is because oral and throat cancers are usually painless in their early stages.
