The USPSTF tailors the scope of these reviews to each topic. The USPSTF determined that a brief, focused evidence review was needed to assist in updating its 1996 recommendations on on screening for oral cancer. Joe Scattoloni, of the RTI-UNC Evidence-based Practice Center (under contract to Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ])), performed a targeted review of the literature published on this topic between 1994 and 2001.

    Extractions: Week of Jan. 15, 2005; Vol. 167, No. 3 , p. 43 Diana Parsell Several hundred million people today practice the ancient custom of chewing betel. In south Asia, where the habit is most prevalent, the signs are hard to miss. Placed inside the cheek and sucked for hours, a betel wad turns saliva bright red, and betel users' spit does likewise to sidewalks and streets. People typically chew betel as a quid consisting of nut pieces from an Areca catechu palm mixed with powdered lime (calcium hydroxide) and wrapped in the leaf of the pepper plant Piper betle . Betel is used primarily as a stimulant. Areca nuts contain alkaloids that induce euphoria and raise a person's heart rate and skin temperature. Some chewers say a cheekful of betel aids digestion.

    Extractions: Each year, cancerous growths of the mouth (oral cancer) develop in 30,000 people in the United States and cause 8,000 deaths, mostly in people older than 40. Oral cancer represents more than 2% of all cancers and 1.5% of all cancer-related deathsa high rate considering the size of the mouth in relation to the rest of the body. Risk Factors A hereditary factor, although not yet well understood, makes certain people more susceptible to developing oral cancer. The two greatest controllable risk factors for developing oral cancer are tobacco and alcohol use. Tobacco useincluding smoking cigarettes (particularly more than 2 packs per day), cigars, or pipes; chewing tobacco; and dipping snuffaccounts for 80 to 90% of all oral cancers. Cigars and cigarettes are equally dangerous as risk factors in the development of oral cancer, followed in descending order by chewing tobacco and pipe smoking. Chronic or heavy alcohol use (particularly more than 6 drinks per day) increases the risk of oral cancer. The combination of tobacco and alcohol is more likely to cause cancer than either one alone. There is some evidence that the alcohol contained in mouthwash can contribute to oral cancer. Therefore, people who smoke and drink alcohol should choose a mouthwash that contains the lowest concentration of alcohol (which is stated on the label).

    Oral cancer information and resources for both the public, health care professionalsand care givers.

    Extractions: The Oral Cancer Foundation is a national public service, non-profit entity designed to reduce suffering and save lives through prevention, education, research, advocacy, and support. Oral cancer is the largest category of those cancers which fall into the head and neck cancer category. Common names for it include such things as mouth cancer, tongue cancer, and throat cancer. Each year in the US, approximately 30,000 people are newly diagnosed with oral cancer. If you add the sub category of laryngeal cancers, the rates of occurrence (about 10,000 additional new cases per year) and death are significantly higher. However, when found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 % cure rate. Unfortunately at this time, the majority are found as latter stage cancers, accounting for the very high death rate. This site will provide you with information about the rates of occurrence, risk factors which lead to oral cancer, treatments, current research, and current oral cancer related news. A patient / survivor forum is open to the public where those currently fighting oral cancer can gain insights and inspiration from those who have been there before them. A comprehensive resource list is also available to link you to other pertinent oral cancer data on the web and elsewhere for patients, caregivers, and the public.

It discusses possible causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. It also has information about rehabilitation and about sources of support to help patients cope with oral cancer. Scientists are studying oral cancer to learn more about this disease, and doctors are exploring new ways to treat it. This research keeps increasing our knowledge about oral cancer.

You cannot "catch" oral cancer from another person. Research has shown that people with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop oral cancer. A risk factor is anything that increases your chance of developing a disease. The following are risk factors for oral cancer: Tobacco: Tobacco use accounts for most oral cancers. Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes; using chewing tobacco; and dipping snuff are all linked to oral cancer. The use of other tobacco products (such as

People all over the world are affected but it appears to occur most frequently in developing countries particularly India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In fact, in some parts of India, oral cancer accounts for more than 50% of all cancer. Oral cancer usually occurs in people over the age of 40. It is twice as common in men as in women. Risk factors for developing oral cancer include: Smoking: 75% of those diagnosed with oral cancer are tobacco users. The higher the tar yield the greater the risk. Smoking and alcohol consumption: tobacco and heavy drinking act together to significantly increase the risk (greater than the sum of 2 effects independently). Poor oral health.

    Extractions: Lecturer Dr. Heddie O. Sedano, DDS, Dr. Odont Tobacco usage either smoked (cigarette and pipe) or chewed and or dipped, has become one of the larger health problems world wide to the degree that is considered by some a world epidemic. Additional consequences to tobacco usage are, among others: expensive medical cost originated by prolonged treatments of diseases associated with tobacco usage; increased demand on professional health services and diminished work productivity and lost work days by tobacco users. For the first time in 1997 the tobacco companies acknowledged that tobacco is addictive either smoked or chewed. Tobacco has been linked to heart disease, strokes, lung diseases, lung cancer, oral cancer, gum disease and tooth loss. It took over 500 years to definitely shift from the original assumption that tobacco was beneficial for human health to the present knowledge that tobacco is essentially a killer.

    Extractions: Home BEATING ORAL CANCER Which kills more people each year, oral or cervical cancer? Which is deadlier, oral cancer or melanoma? If you think these are trick questions, you're right. Although cervical cancer and melanoma take a lion's share of the media's attention, oral cancer is in fact more deadly, largely due to its low profile. "Women go to their physicians and ask for a PAP test, which can identify early, presymptomatic cervical cancers. People check their own bodies for unusual skin lesions and show these to their dermatologists," says Arnold Rosenheck, DMD, associate dean at UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School (NJDS). "But how many individuals ask their dentists to check their mouths for cancer or go to their dentists if they have a mouth sore that doesn't heal right away?" he asks. About 8 percent of these white lesions in the mouth - called leukoplakias - are pre-malignant.
