About 30-40% of patients with intra-oral cancers will survive five years; the short survival time is caused, largely, by late detection. Public awareness of oral cancer as compared with other cancers is low and this contributes to delays in diagnosis. However, the mouth can be examined by healthcare professionals with much greater ease and accuracy than many other parts of the body. All healthcare

Firstly, tobacco is a well established carcinogen for mucosal surfaces, including the mouth.4,5 Secondly, oral cancers in smokeless tobacco users in Western cultures arise most frequently at the site of chronic tobacco placement.6,7 Thirdly, Winn et al8-11 have clearly demonstrated an increased risk of oral carcinoma among older white females who have dipped snuff most of their lives.

Spring/Summer 2000 Table of Contents Home BEATING ORAL CANCER Which kills more people each year, oral or cervical cancer? Which is deadlier, oral cancer or melanoma? If you think these are trick questions, you're right. Although cervical cancer and melanoma take a lion's share of the media's attention, oral cancer is in fact more deadly, largely due to its low profile. "Women go to their physicians and ask for a PAP test, which can identify early, presymptomatic cervical cancers. People check their own bodies for unusual skin lesions and show these to their dermatologists," says Arnold Rosenheck, DMD, associate dean at UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School (NJDS). "But how many individuals ask their dentists to check their mouths for cancer or go to their dentists if they have a mouth sore that doesn't heal right away?" he asks. About 8 percent of these white lesions in the mouth - called leukoplakias - are pre-malignant.

Home Search Appointments Contact Oral Cancer Will Soybeans Prevent Cancer? "You have cancer." Devastating words that no amount of preparation can soften. This particular cancer is twice as common in men than women. Approximately 80 percent of cases develop as a result of tobacco use and alcohol consumption. The overall survival rate is only 50 percent. And it's not lung, prostate or breast cancer. It's oral cancer, and more than 30,000 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States this year. Because most early signs of oral cancer - for example, white lesions (leukoplakia) or red areas in the mouth - are painless and difficult to detect, diagnosis often occurs only after the disease has spread to lymph nodes in the neck. Oral Exams Essential "Preventing oral lesions from becoming cancerous is our best strategy right now," says Frank L. Meyskens, Jr., M.D., director of UCI Medical Center's Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center . "Because once they're malignant, treatment becomes more radical and the survival rate drops considerably." But, the strategy employs a two-pronged approach, says William Armstrong, M.D., assistant professor of

factsheet no:7 Smoking, sex and Reproduction Action on Smoking and Health – May Introduction Cigarette smoking can affect women’s fertility; men’s fertility; sexual function in men; pregnant women's health; the health of an unborn child; and the health of young children. Most of the information below is sourced from the British Medical Association report: Smoking and Reproductive Life: http://www.bma.org.uk/ap.nsf/Content/SmokingReproductiveLife Fertility Women who smoke take longer to conceive. Among smokers, the chances of conceiving fall by 10 – 40 per cent per cycle. The greater the quantity of cigarettes smoked, the longer a woman is likely to take to achieve pregnancy. Even comparatively low levels of smoking can have a significant impact. An investigation involving almost 11,000 women in Denmark revealed that women who smoked between five and nine cigarettes a day were 1.8 times more likely than non-smokers to wait longer than 12 months to conceive. A British study found that both active and passive smoking was associated with delayed conception. Cigarette smoking can also affect male fertility: smoking reduces the quality of semen. Men who smoke have a lower sperm count than non-smokers, and their semen contains a higher proportion of malformed sperm. By-products of nicotine present in semen of smokers have been found to reduce the motility of sperm.
