“…These findings concur with earlier reports on site predilection whereby tongue was the most common site in communities with high prevalence of smoking (Gorsky et al, 2004), whereas chewing is associated with tumours of the buccal mucosa (Singhania, Jayade, Anehosur, Gopalkrishnan, & Kumar, 2015).…”

“…Almost two‐thirds of the tumours among the Chinese occurred at the tongue, which is in accordance with their affinity towards the habit of concurrently smoking and drinking whereas more than half of the Indians and Indigenous people were diagnosed with cancer of the buccal mucosa, which can be attributed to the high prevalence of BQ chewing in these ethnic groups. These findings concur with earlier reports on site predilection whereby tongue was the most common site in communities with high prevalence of smoking (Gorsky et al, ), whereas chewing is associated with tumours of the buccal mucosa (Singhania, Jayade, Anehosur, Gopalkrishnan, & Kumar, ).…”

Objective To elucidate ethnic variations in the practice of oral cancer risk habits in a selected Malaysian population. Methods This retrospective case–control study involves 790 cases of cancers of the oral cavity and 450 controls presenting with non‐malignant oral diseases, recruited from seven hospital‐based centres nationwide. Data on risk habits (smoking, drinking, chewing) were obtained using a structured questionnaire via face‐to‐face interviews. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine association between risk habits and oral cancer risk; chi‐square test was used to assess association between risk habits and ethnicity. Population attributable risks were calculated for all habits. Results Except for alcohol consumption, increased risk was observed for all habits; the highest risk was for smoking + chewing + drinking (aOR 22.37 95% CI 5.06, 98.95). Significant ethnic differences were observed in the practice of habits. The most common habit among Malays was smoking (24.2%); smoking + drinking were most common among Chinese (16.8%), whereas chewing was the most prevalent among Indians (45.2%) and Indigenous people (24.8%). Cessation of chewing, smoking and drinking is estimated to reduce cancer incidence by 22.6%, 8.5% and 6.9%, respectively. Conclusion Ethnic variations in the practice of oral cancer risk habits are evident. Betel quid chewing is the biggest attributable factor for this population.

“…The median age of our patients was 52 years (range 24–85), which is similar to age distribution reported by other studies from India. [ 7 8 ] This validates the fact that prolonged contact of the quid with the mucosal site is suggested as an important etiological factor in terms of high incidence at specific sites and high frequency and longer duration of habit among older individuals. [ 7 9 ] Out of the 409 patients, only 29.1% were females.…”

Introduction:Carcinoma of the buccal mucosa is the most common oral cavity cancer in the Indian subcontinent. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome and evaluate prognostic factors in surgically treated buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma (BMSCC) patients.Materials and Methods:A retrospective study was performed by reviewing the medical records of 409 pathologically proven buccal mucosa cancer patients, who were diagnosed and surgically treated in Tata Memorial Hospital between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2008.Results:The overall 5-year survival of the cohort was found to be 54.1%. The stage-wise survival rate for tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) Stage I, II, III, and IV patients was found to be 85.2%, 82.9%, 56.3%, and 42.6% (P < 0.00), respectively. On multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, the presence of comorbidity, histological tumor size, pathological lymph node status, tumor differentiation, perineural invasion, and extracapsular spread were found to be independently associated with overall survival.Conclusion:BMSCC is an aggressive malignant tumor. In addition to TNM classification, other clinical and pathological factors also have a significant role in BMSCC prognostication. Hence, there is a need to move beyond TNM and develop a more inclusive, flexible, and easy to use prognostic system.

Background: Malignancies of oral cavity are quite common in India and other developing countries. Oral cancer is one of the ten most common cancers and oral cavity is the second most common site of primary tumors involving head and neck. In this study, we studied etiopathological factors affecting oral malignancy with a view to determine a correlation between the host and environment and additional stress put on oral tissue by social and nutritional factors of population.Methods: A prospective study was conducted and data for the study was collected from patients presenting with oral malignancy/dysplasia. An informed written consent was taken from patient, and cases meeting the selection criteria were included in the study. A detailed history and a thorough clinical examination were done in about 50 patients. Results: A total of 50 cases were studied over a period of 18 months. Among study subjects 64% were in the age group ≥50 years. Commonest site involved was buccal mucosa with a preponderance over right side. Chewing was a commonest addictive habits among study subjects. Histopathologically 98% of cases turned out to be “squamous cell carcinoma” of varying differentiation.Conclusions: Because of different life styles, habits and customs, poor oral hygiene among illiterates compared to literate’s oral malignancies are still a major health problem in developing countries like India. Timely surveys and registry programmes will give changing trends in such a grievous health issue.
