“…The present study was in concordance with the findings of Dietrich et al 8 Licensed Under Creative Commons Attribution CC BY 11 and Liu et al 6 in which premalignant lesions were more common in males. (60% versus 69% versus 53% versus 50.4%).In our study malignant lesions were more common in males (65.3%)which was concordant with other studies like Durrazzo et al 13 16 (57%). The fact that oral cancer affects many more men than women may be observed in all of the studies conducted in India as well as other countries.…”

“…Although tobacco is a risk factor well established in oral carcinogenesis, not all users will develop cancer. The increasing incidence of malignant oral lesions in tobacco nonusers and younger patients was also observed [1,[12][13][14]. This would indicate that other factors, such as genetic susceptibility, unprotected chronic exposure to ultraviolet radiation, diet and viral infection by HPV can have a synergistic relationship with the development of oral malignancies.…”

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge level of dentists about oral cancer (OC) in Campina Grande, Paraiba, Brazil. Material and Methods: It was an observational, transversal, descriptive and analytical study. It was applied 200 structured forms. The sample was chosen for convenience. Statistical associations were performed using the Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests (P<0.05). Results: Of the 200 interviewed dentists, 66% (n=132) were women, the prevalent age group was 21-40 years (49.5%), 47% work at the private sector and 39% concluded their graduation 20 years ago. Oral squamous cell carcinoma was cited as the most common histopathologic type of OC (65.5%), and the most common anatomical site of OC was tongue (53.4%). The main risk factors cited for the developing of OC were licit and/or illicit drugs (99%), heredity (75.9%), dental problems (74.9%) and sun exposure (74.4%). There was a significant statistically association between the variables tobacco and/or alcohol use and gender of the dentists (P=0.001), between the knowledge level about OC and its histopathologic type and the more affected anatomical site (p=0.012 and p=0.034, respectively). Conclusion: The level of knowledge of dentists about OC is still insufficient for the performance of early diagnosis. Therefore, further discussions about this theme in dentistry schools should be conducted in order to train qualified professionals for this type of diagnosis.

“…In rest of the cases, clinical nodal staging was as follows: N1 16%; N2 51%; and N3 nil. [19] Another similar study conducted by Kruse et al, [22] which reported that tumour status of patients with oral SCC showed T1 in 35.82%, T2 in 23.88%, T3 in 4.47% and T4 in 35.82% cases whereas lymph node involvement was clinically absent in 70.14% of cases. In rest of the cases, clinical nodal staging was as follows: N1 16.41%; N2 13.43%; and N3 nil.…”

BACKGROUND Head and neck cancers are among the 10 most frequent cancers and are the sixth most common cancers worldwide. Among these cancers, oral cavity in general and gingivobuccal complex in particular is prone to a myriad of changes with advancing age as well as a result of environmental and lifestyle-related factors.The objective of this study was to gain appreciation of the correlation of clinical presentation and habit patterns as well as to note the pathological differentiation and the TNM (Tumour, Node, Metastasis) classification of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of gingivobuccal complex in Punjab. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis prospective study was conducted on 30 patients of diagnosed cases of SCC of the gingivobuccal complex in the Department of ENT and Department of Pathology of Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India. The selected patients were those who reported a definitive history of ulcerative lesion of gingivobuccal complex. Detailed history of patients was taken and tumour data including site, subsite, grade and TNM stage were collected. RESULTSThe mean age of the patients was 52.53 ± 12.91 years. There were 83.33% male and 16.67% female patients. The most common presenting symptoms of SCC of gingivobuccal complex were ulceration, pain and mass in the oral cavity (in all cases) followed by trismus. The most common substance abuse observed was tobacco use. The most common subsite of SCC of gingivobuccal complex was buccal mucosa. The majority of the patients presented in stages I and III (26.67% each). SCC of the buccal mucosa was positively correlated with alcohol use, but the association was statistically non-significant (r= 0.01), but it was positively correlated with smoking and tobacco use (in other form) and the correlation was statistically significant (r= 0.553 and 0.517). CONCLUSIONSCC of the retromolar trigone was positively correlated with alcohol, smoking and tobacco use (in other form) and the correlation was statistically significant.
