“…Studies with European populations, more specifically from England and Wales (2,9) found that over 30% of intraoral cancers were lingual, which was similar to the value found in Torino, Italy (32.6%) (2,10). France reported the highest incidence rates for male tongue cancer in Europe (2,11), which is probably related to the high alcohol consumption (2).…”

“…Of them all, tobacco and alcohol are currently considered the two most important factors for the development of this type of carcinoma (9)(10)(11)(12). However, new research into the molecular biology of oral cancer has also pointed to the possibility of predisposing genetic factors being significant (17,18).…”

“…Since there is no single cause of tongue cancer, several factors are implicated in the etiology, including tobacco (smoked or chewed), consumption of alcohol, nutritional deficiencies, immunosuppression, virus and presence of preexisting diseases and factors like dental trauma (9,15,16). Of them all, tobacco and alcohol are currently considered the two most important factors for the development of this type of carcinoma (9)(10)(11)(12).…”

The aim of the study was to determine whether there is any relationship between the presence of removable dentures and squamous cell carcinoma of the anterior two thirds of the tongue in a Portuguese population. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, who were seen and treated at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery of the Portuguese Institute of Oncology 'Francisco Gentil', Lisbon, Portugal, during a 3-year period. Several factors were examined: gender, use of removable dentures, age, location of the lesion, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. One hundred and six cases were selected from the initial 151 cases, with a male:female ratio of 3:1 and the lateral borders being the most commonly affected site. The prevalence in both genders was between the sixth and seventh decade of life. Men were more likely to consume alcohol and tobacco than women, and no relationship was observed between denture use and presence of carcinoma of the tongue. In light of the data obtained, it may be considered that female use of a denture plays an important role, but it cannot be identified as a remarkable etiologic factor.

“…However, intra-oral cancer incidence, particularly that of the tongue and oor of the mouth, is rising in both sexes though the changes are less pronounced among females [18,21,25,26]. In 1991, tongue cancers (ICD9 141) accounted for about 40% of oral cancer registrations, mouth cancer (ICD9 143±5) for about 50%, and lip cancers (ICD9 140) the remaining 10% (Table 1).…”

Oral cancer in the UK: to screen or not to screen

1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although oral squamous cell carcinoma accounts for only a small proportion of malignant neoplasms in the UK, oral cancer incidence and mortality rates have been rising in recent years. The natural history of oral cancer is not adequately understood at present and there is very little information about the epidemiology of precancerous lesions in the UK. There are also insucient data to provide ®rm evidence that the percentage of cases arising de novo is greater in the UK and the Western world as compared to the Indian subcontinent. Screening for oral cancer by visual examination is simple, inexpensive and causes little discomfort; however, there is no evidence for the eectiveness of screening for oral cancer either in reducing mortality from the disease or in reducing the incidence of invasive disease by detection and treatment of precancerous lesions. There is currently insucient evidence to recommend population screening for oral cancer in the UK. Measures aimed at primary prevention of the disease may be a more feasible method of disease control at present. #
