M O U T H C A N C E R The mouth is an amazing machine for speech and eating, it actually starts the process of digestion. Normally good mouth hygiene ensures healthy teeth, and a lifetime of trouble free chewing (the muscles of the jaw are the strongest of the body). Occasionally people develop a cancer in the mouth. From a cancer doctor perspective, the mouth is anything forward of the last molar, up to the lips. This includes the part of the tongue we see in the mirror, the hard palate, and the inside of the cheeks. Anything behind the last molar is called "oropharynx" and is a different area which includes the tonsils and base of tongue. Cells in the mouth are subjected to lots of injury from heat and abrasion, and thus must divide frequently to replace those lost due to injury and old age. Normally, cells divide quickly as we develop in the womb and through infancy, and then the rate slows down considerably, just to replace cells that die. The division of cells in the mouth and elsewhere is under very tight control, regulated by the genes within the cells. When this control is lost, the cells may start to divide in a haphazard, uncontrolled manner, and grow to form a swelling of abnormal cells, called a " tumor ". A "

Introduction Awareness Week Background Protocols ... Support Groups :: SELF-AWARENESS IS THE KEY TO EARLY DETECTION :: Dr Vinod K Joshi " Cancer can occur in any part of the mouth, tongue, lips and throat. Mouth cancers have a higher proportion of deaths per number of cases than breast cancer, cervical cancer or skin melanoma. The mortality rate is just over 50%, despite treatment, with about 1,700 deaths per year in the UK. This is because of late detection. There has been a 17% increase in cases from 3,673 (1995) to 4,304 (1999). An increasing number of young people are being affected and 25% of the cases have no associated significant risk factors. "

Cancer of the mouth, or "oral cavity", includes that extending back last molar are not considered "mouth cancer". Also, cancers of our 3 http://www.canceranswers.com/Mouth.Cancer.html

MOUTH CANCER What is Mouth Cancer? Cancer of the mouth, or "oral cavity", includes that extending back as far as behind the last molar ("wisdom tooth"). This would include the area behind the lips, gums, inside of the cheeks, palate, and front 2/3 of the tongue. The tonsils and back of the tongue are further back, and are located in the "oropharynx". Thus, cancers of areas behind the last molar are not considered "mouth cancer". Also, cancers of our 3 major salivary glands (parotid, submaxillary, sublingual) are considered separately, as well as those of the jaw bones and muscles. Therefore, it is important to identify the area the cancer arose from, even if it subsequently spread to other areas. It is this area it originally arose from which determines what type of cancer it is. Cells in the mouth are subjected to lots of injury from heat and abrasion, and thus must divide frequently to replace those lost due to injury and old age. Normally, cells divide quickly as we develop in the womb and through infancy, and then the rate slows down considerably, just to replace cells that die.

Cancer of the Mouth and Throat Cancer of the mouth (oral cancer) includes cancers on the lips, gums, tongue, salivary glands and the roof or floor of the mouth (check the Canadian Cancer Society web site for the most up to date statistics ). Cancer cells growing in these areas of the mouth may spread to the lymph nodes in the neck and into the jaw bones. Early detection and treatment are extremely important for the current forms of treatment to be most effective. "When oral cancer in any form is detected and treated early, the outlook is good, resulting in a cure in three quarters of cases." * Any lump, sore, ulcer or discolored spot in the mouth that does not go away in 2-3 weeks should be assessed by a doctor. Symptoms such as persistent sore throats, sores under dentures, difficulty chewing or swallowing or a lump on the neck also require medical evaluation. What causes oral cancer? As with other forms of cancer, the direct cause of mouth cancer is not yet clear. Research continues on many fronts to find the key to why cells in various organs and tissues of the body begin a pattern of uncontrolled growth (i.e. become cancerous). With mouth cancers, however, we do know that there are several factors that contribute significantly to their development: smoking tobacco products especially pipes and cigars (but ANY tobacco products can cause cancer!)

7. Know The Dangers: Mouth Problems The warning signs of mouth cancer. http://www.quitnet.com/library/guides/Beat_The_Habit/BTH_Danger.jtml

Know the Dangers: Mouth Problems Some problems caused by smokeless tobacco may seem minor, like tooth stains, bad breath, and losing your taste for food. But chewing tobacco and snuff can cause serious damage to your teeth and gums. The sugar in smokeless tobacco can cause severe tooth decay. The grit in chew and dip can wear down the enamel surfaces of the teeth. And the strong chemicals in chewing tobacco and snuff can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth in the place where the tobacco is held. Gum damage is very hard to repair, and it can lead to tooth loss. The most serious problems are white patches and sores inside the mouth. Leathery white patches develop where the tobacco comes in contact with the gum and cheek. These patches, called leukoplakia (looko-play-kia), are caused by the cancer-causing chemicals in the tobacco. They can turn into mouth cancer over time. Red sores also may be cancer warning signs. These problems are not rare. In a recent study, white patches were found in almost half (46%) of over 400 major and minor league players who used dip or chew. They were most common in snuff dipperswhite patches were found in 69% of the players who used two to three cans of dip per week. Warning Signals: Check your teeth and gums for damage and pull your lips back and look closely at where you hold the tobacco. If you see a white patch, red sore that doesn't heal, or a lump on your cheek, tongue, or gums, see your doctor or dentist right away. A special test (biopsy) may be needed to see if it is precancerous. If a cancer does develop, it must be treated right away. Even if you don't see a problem now, have your mouth checked by a doctor or dentist every 3 months.

Of course no two experiences will be the same, but they may be similar. Here briefly is what happened to me. I got tongue cancer. This was treated by surgery and radiation. I think I am now cured. The surgery involved removing the tumour and some more of the tongue as well. The radiation required the removal of teeth. After about two years I was given some false teeth.

Fortunately I had a routine dental appointment. My dentist was not very worried but referred me to St. Luke's Maxillo-facial Unit in Bradford, where it was rapidly diagnosed as cancer, not very far advanced.

Public Press Profession Public home Search: Whole site Links FAQs for: Healthy lifestyles Cultural groups Diagnosis Treatment Living with Mouth Cancer Facts Links The Foundation coordinates Mouth Cancer Awareness Week each November. Mouth cancer, sometimes called oral cancer, can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks and throat. Every year in the UK, there are 4,300 new cases, and 1,700 deaths. Other countries have similar figures. The number of new cases is on the rise, but deaths could be reduced if the disease was spotted early enough. The main problem is that many people do not visit their dentist for regular check-ups. Mouth cancer is particularly common in people over 40 who smoke or drink alcohol. However, younger people who do not fall into any obvious risk group can fall victim to the disease. It can appear in all parts of the mouth, tongue and lips, whether you have your own natural teeth or wear false teeth (dentures). If mouth cancer is diagnosed in its early stages it can respond well to treatment and the outcome can be good. For patients diagnosed with mouth cancer the first reaction is often shock, perhaps even denial. This is a critical time and patients need to reach out for help, appropriate care and management.

Latest News Mouth Cancer in the Oral Cavity and Oropharynx Mouth cancer includes tongue cancer, lip cancer, cancers of the oral cavity and the oropharynx. Mouth cancer makes up two to four percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States with 30,000 new cases of mouth and tongue cancer diagnosed annually. Mouth Cancer Survival Rates and Prognosis Mouth, tongue, and oropharynx cancers generally have a poor prognosis. Approximately 8,000 Americans die every year from some form of oral cavity cancer. The overall five-year survival rate for mouth cancer is 55 percent, a statistic that has not improved in thirty years. Mouth and tongue cancer are often well advanced at the time of diagnosis, and have often metastasized beyond the oral cavity. If metastasis has occurred, the prognosis for oral cavity cancer treatment is poor. Additionally, mouth and tongue cancer have high primary tumor recurrence rates. After a successful initial mouth cancer treatment, the chance of a second oral cavity tumor developing is as high as twenty percent. Types of Mouth and Tongue Cancer Ninety percent of mouth and tongue cancers are squamous cell carcinomas . The remaining ten percent of mouth or tongue cancers are caused by lymphomas, adenocarcinomas, and other, less common, forms of cancer.

Writing in New Scientist magazine, US researchers said the human papilloma virus, which causes most cervical cancers, may also cause oral tumours. Experts say heavy smoking or drinking causes most mouth cancers, but the HPV link could help explain why some young adults develop the rare disease. But they stressed people did not need to alter their behaviour. Oral cancer is rare, and tobacco and alcohol are by far the biggest causes Dr Anne Szarewski, Cancer Research UK It is estimated that up to a fifth of women aged 18 to 22 in the UK carry a variety of HPV. Scientists are working on a vaccine that would be effective against the most common strains in an attempt to cut the number of cases of cervical cancer. They now hope a vaccine could have the added benefit of reducing oral cancers, which affect around one in 10,000 people.

Front Page World UK UK Politics ... Help Friday, September 24, 1999 Published at 23:22 GMT 00:22 UK Health People 'ignorant of killer mouth cancer' The public are unaware of the dangers of oral cancer People are unaware of the symptoms of oral cancer, despite the fact it kills 1,600 people a year in the UK, says a survey. The research, published in the British Dental Journal, found that only half of those questioned had even heard of oral cancer, which covers cancers of the mouth, lip and tongue. The BBC's Daniel Sandford: "The biggest causes of the cancer are tobacco and alcohol" And though more knew or guessed that smoking was a prime risk factor for developing the disease, only one in five were aware that excessive alcohol drinking could also trigger it. The survey has prompted the British Dental Association to call for the reduction of oral cancer to be included in government targets for cutting cancer. It also believes a major publicity campaign would save lives. The survey also showed that people had worryingly low awareness of colon cancer, another disease which relies on early detection to give sufferers a much improved chance of survival. But 97% knew about lung cancer, 96% about skin cancer, 86% about cervical cancer and 78% about prostate cancer.
