Brite Smile Info Please note: without the benefit of a dental examination, review of medical history and any necessary dental x-rays or other diagnostic aids, no attempt will be made to provide specific diagnosis or recommended courses of treatment. Fortunately, most oral "sores" or "lesions" are not harmful. But a small number are dangerous, and if not identified early, they may progress to a more advanced stage. Oral cancer is a devastating disease when detected in its latter stages. Late stage treatment usually involves major facial surgery with only half of such patients surviving past five years. Therefore, it is important to see your dentist regularly so that dangerous oral lesions can be detected at an early, easily curable stage. Warning Signs of Oral Cancer: A mouth sore that bleeds easily or fails to heal. - A lump, thickening or soreness in the mouth, throat or tongue. - Soreness or swelling that doesn't go away. - A white of red patch in the mouth that doesn't go away. - Difficulty in chewing, swallowing or moving your tongue or jaw.

PIC Homepage TOBACCO ROLE IN THE ETIOLOGY OF ORAL CANCER, PERIODONTAL DISEASE AND OTHER ORAL LESIONS Lecturer Dr. Heddie O. Sedano, DDS, Dr. Odont Tobacco usage either smoked (cigarette and pipe) or chewed and or dipped, has become one of the larger health problems world wide to the degree that is considered by some a world epidemic. Additional consequences to tobacco usage are, among others: expensive medical cost originated by prolonged treatments of diseases associated with tobacco usage; increased demand on professional health services and diminished work productivity and lost work days by tobacco users. A condensed review of tobacco usage in its various forms and its impact on oral health is presented here according to the topics listed below. Brief historical review General statistics Tobacco and precancerous lesions Tobacco and oral carcinoma ... References BRIEF HISTORICAL REVIEW For the first time in 1997 the tobacco companies acknowledged that tobacco is addictive either smoked or chewed. Tobacco has been linked to heart disease, strokes, lung diseases, lung cancer, oral cancer, gum disease and tooth loss. It took over 500 years to definitely shift from the original assumption that tobacco was beneficial for human health to the present knowledge that tobacco is essentially a killer.

PARK ORAL CANCER RESEARCH LAB GROUP MEMBERS LAB ALUMNI ... GUEST BOOK Welcome to the Oral Cancer Research Laboratory! No-Hee Park, D.M.D., Ph.D. Professor and Dean, UCLA School of Dentistry Cellular Immortalization and Development of Human Oral Cancer The objectives of our laboratory are to understand the basic mechanism of the development of human oral cancer and to innovate new therapeutic modalities against oral cancer. We have developed an in vitro in vitro model, we have also found that telomeres, flanking the two ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, progressively shorten during immortalization, and the critically short telomeres in HOK-16B are then protected from further shortening by elevated telomerase activity. Telomerase activation is necessary to sustain the immortal phenotype of cells, and it occurs during the early stage of carcinogenesis. To study the mechanism of telomerase activation during oral carcinogenesis in situ , we have adopted the hamster oral carcinogenesis model, and cloned the promoter element and full-length cDNA of the hamster telomerase gene ( hamTERT ). We are currently studying the mode of

Understanding Oral Cancer Oral cancer is most common in people over forty years. Although it is found twice as often in males as in females, this ratio appears to be decreasing. This trend may be due to the increasing rate of smoking among women. The Facts There are around 2700 new mouth cancers each year in the UK. As many as 50% could die within 5 years because they have been seen too late. Early cancers have an 80% cure rate. Known Risk Factors Smoking and other tobacco habits High alcohol intake Smoking and alcohol increase your risk of mouth cancer 15 times Pan and betel chewing (lime, spices, areca, tobacco) Previous history of oral, lung or throat cancer People with poor immune systems, particularly those with AIDS What To Look For An ulcer or lump anywhere in the mouth or throat that does not heal within 2-3 weeks A whitish or reddish patch which can be painless Neck or under chin swelling Slurring of speech or difficult in chewing What can you do?

Information from PDQ for Patients OVERVIEW OF SCREENING What is screening? Screening for cancer is examination (or testing) of people for early stages in the development of cancer even though they have no symptoms. Scientists have studied patterns of cancer in the population to learn which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They have also studied what things around us and what things we do in our lives may cause cancer. This information sometimes helps doctors recommend who should be screened for certain types of cancer, what types of screening tests people should have, and how often these tests should be done. Not all screening tests are helpful, and most have risks such as bleeding or infection due to a biopsy for an abnormal screening test. For this reason, scientists at the National Cancer Institute are studying many screening tests to find out how useful they are and to determine the relative benefits and harms.

Public release date: 19-Apr-2004 Contact: Susan Griffith susan.griffith@case.edu Case Western Reserve University Oral cancer survey from Case dental school shows dental hygienist's role in catching cancer In one of the first national surveys of dental hygienists about their knowledge and screening practices for oral cancers, researchers at Case Western Reserve University's School of Dental Medicine found indications that while dental hygienists view screening for oral cancer an important component of their practice and possess comparable oral cancer knowledge with the general dentist in the private practice, they often do not carry out oral cancer screenings. Oral cancer impacts people. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 28,900 people were diagnosed in 2002 with oral cancers and 7,400 people would died as result of their disease. The overall five-year survival rate was 56 percent. Early oral cancer is often asymptomatic and if not caught during its earlier stages, the chances of surviving the disease diminish significantly, according to Dr. Danny R. Sawyer, professor and chairman of Case' department of oral diagnosis and radiology and assistant dean of didactic education. He conducted the study along with Dr. Marsha Pyle, Case associate dean for dental curriculum; Meredith Bailey, a second-year Case dental student; and Maureen Vendemia, professor of dental hygiene from Youngstown State University.
