“…Marijuana use is also considered to be a potential risk factor and may be partly responsible for the rise in oral cancers seen among young adults [13,14]. However, further epidemiological studies are necessary to confirm the purported association of marijuana and oral cancer in younger patients [15,16]. However there was no cases reported in our study.…”

Objective: Sri Lanka has the highest reported incidence of oral cancer in the world. The aim of the study to investigate the relationship of risk factors with oral cancers. Materials & Methods:596 individuals of Batticaloa district were investigated for this study through intervieweradministrated questionnaire within the time frame for the data collection, applying multi stage cluster sampling technique.Results &Discussion: Out of these 596, 63.42% (Nos. 378) are males. 2% (Nos. 11) of the people interviewed have been reported with oral cancer. 91% (Nos. 10) of the total number of oral cancer victims are from rural area. 63.64% (Nos. 7) are in the range of 61-75 years of age among oral cancer. There has no imply any clue about coalition between sex and oral cancer. 30.20% (Nos. 180) have the habit of Tobacco consumption and of which only 5 % (Nos. 7) were identified with oral cancer. Chewing is popular method [77.78% (Nos. 7)] among oral cancer victims. 32.38% (Nos. 193) are having the habit of chewing beetle. 81.82% (Nos. 9) oral cancer patients have the habit of chewing beetle. 90.67% (Nos. 175) people use one or more other substances such as slake lime, areca nut and Tobacco together. 66.67% (Nos. 6) oral cancer patients have the same practice of chewing while sleeping in the night. It is noted that 100% (Nos. 6) of the people with oral cancer and who are beetle chewers while sleeping in the night, keep the beetle pulp near their molar. 32.21% (Nos. 192) people including 3 (27.27 %) out of 11 oral cancer victims are having the habit of consuming Alcohol. Conclusions:Oral cancers are common among people aged 61-75 years. Tobacco consumption and Beetle chewing are most inducing factors of oral cancer.

As the age distribution in Korean society has gotten gradually older, the morbidity of cancer in Korea has increased accordingly. This also derives from the increase of smoking, drinking, and air pollution. Since the 1980s, in spite of the substantial expansion of surgical aspect and radiotherapy, significant number of people has still been suffering from cancer, which often ends up with death. The data of cancer registry reports the current status of nationwide cancers under the guidance of central committee of the Korean Cancer Registry in the Ministry of Health and Welfare. However, this implies several limitations because it is focused too much on the diagnosis itself. Thus, in our epidemiologic survey, we intend to develop various items to add, such as classification of anatomical primary site, staging of head and neck cancers, correlation between smoking or drinking and head and neck cancer, double primary cancers, and treatment modality by site and stage. We further expect to accomplish the accuracy and the completion of the survey data by allowing otolaryngologists let input the data, who are in charge of head and neck cancers. We truly hope that we could understand head and neck cancers of Korea systematically and precisely through this data. This understanding could hopefully make analysis of survival rate, and treatment result possible. Finally, we expect that this data could serve as an important sour- Epidemiologic Survey of Head and Neck Cancers in KoreaHead and neck cancers have never been systematically studied for clinical purposes yet in Korea. This epidemiological survey on head and neck cancer patients was undertaken from January to December 2001 in 79 otorhinolaryngology resident-training hospitals nationwide. The number of head and neck cancer patients was 1,063 cases in the year. The largest proportion of cases arose in the larynx, as many as 488 cases, which accounted for 45.9%. It was followed by, in order of frequency, oral cavity (16.5%), oropharynx (10.0%), and hypopharynx (9.5%). The male:female ratio was 5:1, and the mean age was 60.3 yr. Surgery was the predominant treatment modality in head and neck cancers: 204 (21.5%) cases were treated with only surgery, 198 (20.8%) cases were treated with surgery and radiotherapy, 207 cases (21.8%) were treated with combined therapy of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Larynx and hypopharynx cancers had a stronger relationship with smoking and alcohol drinking than other primary site cancers. Of them, 21 cases were found to be metastasized at the time of diagnosis into the lung, gastrointestinal tract, bone, or brain. Coexisting second primary malignancies were found in 23 cases. At the time of diagnosis, a total of 354 cases had cervical lymph node metastasis accounting for 42.0%.

“…Andre et al observed a deleterious effect of the consumption of alcohol even with non-smokers or casual smokers. 19 In our study 29 patients reported with combined habituation with alcohol, smoking and tobacco. Sanghvi et al observed that the risk ratio for oral cancers were four-fold in chewers, two-fold in smokers and four-fold in chewers and smokers both.…”
