http://www.tobacco-facts.info/oral_cancer.htm

Extractions: Page Last Updated: Smoking is by far the major risk factor for developing oral cancer. The use of alcohol and smoking further increases the risk of cancer of the larynx, oral cavity, and esophagus. According the the American Cancer Society statistics, there were 28,000 new cases and 7,400 deaths from Oral cavity and pharynx cancer in the United States in 2002. Patients with head and neck cancer that smoke are more likely to develop spread of the cancer to their lymph nodes and once in the nodes the cancer is more likely to spread into the soft tissues. View Article's Abstract The picture on the right shows a cancer of the uvula in a patient that had a 75 pack year history of smoking and consumed alcohol. Both smoking and alcohol are risk factors for oral cancer. This patient also had a second cancer in his lungs and eventually developed spread of the cancer to his brain. Click on Pictures to Enlarge Use of tobacco products produces changes in all of the cells that are exposed. Thus, the entire oral cavity, lungs are larynx are at risk for developing tumors. Patients do not just develop one tumor but may develop a second or a third lesion. Vaamonde (2004) found that of 636 patients with head and neck cancer 48 or 7.5% developed a second lesion.

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.

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.

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

Extractions: Soft Tissue Examination All of us have to worry about tooth decay, but after the age of 40, the risk for an even more serious condition increases dramatically: oral cancer! Ten thousand people die from oral cancer each year, with 95% of them over the age of 40. Cancer can strike any part of the mouth, including the lips and tongue. If the cancer is not detected early, tumors can grow deep into local tissues and spread to lymph glands in the neck. The risk for oral cancer increases with age and alcohol and tobacco use. By having regular visits, your dentist can detect oral cancer at a stage when it can be more successfully treated. You can help, too. When brushing and flossing, check for red or white patches in your mouth. Look for tender or numb areas, sores that don't heal, and lumps or rough spots. If you detect any of these signs or symptoms, call your dentist at once. Oral cancer represents approximately 3% of all cancers. There are 30,000 new cases of diagnosed every year in the United States. The single greatest risk factor responsible for oral cancer is tobacco products of all types including cigarette, cigar, and pipe tobacco as well as chewing tobacco.

We will focus here on the oral cavity; click here to learn more about pharyngeal cancer, or cancer of the throat. The oral cavity includes many parts: the lips; the lining inside the lips and cheeks, called the buccal mucosa; the teeth; the bottom (floor) of the mouth under the tongue; the front two-thirds of the tongue; the bony top of the mouth (hard palate); the gums; and the small area behind the wisdom teeth. Salivary glands throughout the oral cavity make saliva, which keeps the mouth moist and helps digest food. If you have been diagnosed with oral cancer, your care team at Cancer Treatment Centers of America may include an oral surgeon; an ear, nose, and throat surgeon; a medical oncologist; a radiation oncologist; a prosthodontist; a general dentist; a plastic surgeon; a dietitian; a social worker; a nurse; and a speech therapist, among others. Excluding superficial skin cancers, but including cancer of the larynx and thyroid, it is conservatively estimated that about 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with head and neck cancer annually - about five percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States. There are more than 500,000 survivors of oral, head and neck cancer living in the United States today.

Extractions: Oral Cancer Oral cancer (cancer of the mouth, lips) is a disease that strikes 3,000 Canadians every year. This form of cancer has a higher mortality rate than either melanoma or cervical cancer. The five-year survival rate for oral cancer is low, at just below 50 percent. However, if the cancer is detected early, the five-year survival increases sharply to 80 percent. (1) Key Risk Factors The key risk factors for developing oral cancer are: Normally, the cells of the mouth are quite resistant to damage. However, repeated injury from smoking and alcohol may cause sores or painful areas where cancer can start. If left untreated, oral cancer has the potential to spread to the lymph nodes and lungs. (1)

Early Detection Is Key To Fighting Oral Cancer (phillyBurbs.com)
A Middletown dental practice is stepping up efforts to educate people about the disease, which is easily detected but often ignored.
http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-07172005-515499.html

Extractions: Bucks County Courier Times The mouth pain was so easily ignored that Jerold Wilck doesn't remember when he first noticed it. He saw the sore, but figured he had bitten his tongue. Weeks passed; the sore didn't heal. Strange, Wilck thought. As a longtime dentist, he knew oral abnormalities are fairly rare and usually are nothing troubling. Colleagues looked at his mouth, and none suspected a problem. "That is what happens with most people," he said. It's the reason most people with oral cancer die. Wilck could have been one of them, but a doctor in his Middletown dental practice suggested he get a biopsy. Now, he's spreading the word about the importance of early detection of this common, yet often ignored, cancer. An oral cancer screen should be part of every routine dentist visit, he and other medical experts say.

Fortunately, most oral "sores" or "lesions" are not harmful. But a small number are dangerous, and if not identified early, they may progress to a more advanced stage. Oral cancer is a devastating disease when detected in its latter stages. Late stage treatment usually involves major facial surgery with only half of such patients surviving past five years. Therefore, it is important to see your dentist regularly so that dangerous oral lesions can be detected at an early, easily curable stage. Warning Signs of Oral Cancer: A mouth sore that bleeds easily or fails to heal. - A lump, thickening or soreness in the mouth, throat or tongue. - Soreness or swelling that doesn't go away. - A white of red patch in the mouth that doesn't go away. - Difficulty in chewing, swallowing or moving your tongue or jaw.
