“…On the contrary the Atlas of Cancer in India (2005) reveals predominance in the N-E regions of the country. The dietary factors might contribute to high risk of hypopharyngeal cancer in India (Heck et al, 2008). In addition to tobacco and alcohol, dietary deficiency particularly vitamin A and iron are implicated in the etiology.…”

Background: India is facing burden of non-communicable diseases and oral cancer is one of the leading public health issue. This is a descriptive study from Aurangabad district, Maharashtra, India to evaluate epidemiologic profile of oral cancer patients who underwent treatment during 2012 to 2016.Methods: Demographic and clinical profile of 500 patients was recorded with validated questionnaire.Results: With male: female ratio was 2.90:1; the mean age of the patients of oral cancer was 47.73 years. Tobacco consumption was the leading cause associated with statistically significant association (p value < 0.000) among the gender and tobacco use suggesting men are more prone to use tobacco than women. 74% patients received satisfactory treatment and all the patients strongly reported need of doctor’s advice, family support, discontinuation of substance abuse habits and financial help. Patients reported the need of acceptance by society and good diet and nutrition. However, many denied the need of psychological counseling and regular check-up. There was statistically significant association (p value < 0.001) found among the gender and needs for good diet and nutrition, psychological counseling, regular check-up, discontinuation of tobacco habits. Statistically significant association (p value < 0.001) found among the occupation and needs for good diet and nutrition, psychological counseling and acceptance by society.Conclusions: The study projects the epidemiology and focuses on the needs of the patients which require the specific attention and efforts through patient’s education and awareness.

“…Epstein barr virus and hormonal changes are considered as associated with this cancer. 16,26,27 Cancer of pharynx Oropharyx, nasopharynx and hypopharynx are combined considered in pharynx cancer and has significantly high incidence among men and women in Aurangabad region. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in India has a low incidence, mostly prevalent in North-East region of India and linked to Epstein Barr viral infection, chronic rhino-sinusitis, poor ventilation, inhalation of smoke, and ingestion of salted fish containing dimethylnitrosamine, smoked meat, use of herbal nasal medicine and preserved foodstuff.…”

“…36 Indian continent has chronic energy deficiency and deficiencies of vitamin A, folate, riboflavin, iodine and iron which add risk of cancer as high dietary fibre, vitamins C, E and A, and selenium offer protection against cancer. 15,27,32,37 Viral infections related prevalence of oral cancers is less, but they exist. Human papillomavirus (HPV) usually cause cervix cancer, but studies suggest that it is associated with oral cancer.…”

Background: Oral cancer incidence is constantly rising in India and is one of the major public health issues. This is a retrospective study from Aurangabad district (MS) of India to evaluate epidemiologic profile of oral cancer patients from 2005 to 2014. Methods: The 10 year data of oral cancer was obtained from the PCBR Aurangabad which was available from the National Cancer Registry Programme, Govt. of India web portal. The periodic data in three different spans was available as 2005 to 2008, 2009 to 2011 and 2012 to 2014. Statistical analysis used was age adjusted rate (AAR), crude rate (CR) and additive properties of CR. Results: The oral cancer trends from 2005 to 2014 reveals significantly increase in oral cancer incidence in population. In males, cancer of mouth (RP: 11.84% and AAR 7.37) was most common followed by tongue (RP: 9.62% and AAR 6.32) and pharynx (RP: 4.71% and AAR 2.79). In females cancer of tongue (RP: 3.31% and AAR 2.42) is most common followed by cancer of mouth (RP: 2.77% and AAR 1.91). Incidence of oral cancer as a whole for all sites is second highest after lung cancer in Aurangabad in male (cumulative AAR 17.93) and fourth highest after breast, cervix and lung cancer (cumulative AAR 6.06) in female out of all cancer sites in region in 2012-2014. Conclusions: Understanding pattern and incidence of various oral cancers is crucial for primary prevention and early detection for comprehensive management of cases.
