Another 10 to 40 percent will develop cancer of one of these organs or a second cancer of the oral cavity or oropharynx at a later time. For this reason, it is very important for patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer to have follow-up examinations for the rest of their lives and avoid risk factors, such as smoking and drinking, which increase the risk for these second cancers. What is oral cancer? Oral cancer is cancer found in the oral cavity (the mouth area) and the oropharynx (the throat area at the back of the mouth). Oral cancer, which can be deadly, is diagnosed in approximately 30,000 Americans each year, according to the American Cancer Society. The oral cavity includes the following: the lips, teeth, and gums

    Significant advances are being made in the treatment of oral cancer at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

    Extractions: Related Resources Within UMM Greenebaum Cancer Center Div. of Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery The Future of Medicine "We take patients and not just cure them, but return them to families and communities able to function, go out, wave and smile without feeling stigmatized by surgery and treatment for cancer," says Robert Ord, M.D., D.D.S., who heads the division of oral-maxillofacial surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Recognizing that oral cancer, the most frequently diagnosed form of head and neck cancer, goes beyond tumor removal, physicians and staff at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center take a multi-disciplinary approach that relies on technological advances and genomics. "One thing about head and neck cancer that makes it different is its visibility," adds Dr. Ord, who is also a professor of dentistry at the University of Maryland Dental School. "With other cancers, the scars are usually on the inside or can be covered. With head and neck cancer, it's right there in the open – affecting speech, swallowing, eating, drinking and appearance." Statewide, there are 550 to 600 oral cancer cases annually, with 1,500 to 2,000 head and neck diagnoses. Approximately 90 percent of oral cancer patients have a history of heavy cigarette smoking or alcohol consumption. Most cases are found by dentists during routine appointments.

    Extractions: This site deals with cancer of the oral cavity (mouth) and the oropharynx (the part of the throat at the back of the mouth). The oral cavity includes many parts: the lips; the lining inside the lips and cheeks, called the buccal mucosa; the teeth; the bottom (floor) of the mouth under the tongue; the bony top of the mouth (hard palate); the gums; and the small area behind the wisdom teeth. The oropharynx includes the back one-third of the tongue, the soft palate, the tonsils, and the back of the throat. Salivary glands throughout the oral cavity make saliva, which keeps the mouth moist and helps digest food. What is cancer?

    Extractions: When oral cancer was discovered, part of Sean's tongue was removed. But the cancer spread. More surgeries followed, including removal of his jaw bone. In his last hours, Sean wrote - -he could no longer speak- -a plea to his peers; "Don't dip snuff". He died at age 19. There are two forms of spit tobacco: chewing tobacco and snuff. Chewing tobacco is usually sold as leaf tobacco (packaged in a pouch) or plug tobacco (in brick form) and both are put between the cheek and gum. Users keep chewing tobacco in their mouths for several hours to get a continuous high from the nicotine in the tobacco. Snuff is a powdered tobacco (usually sold in cans) that is put between the lower lip and the gum. Just a pinch is all that’s needed to release the nicotine, which is then swiftly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in a quick high. Sounds ok, right? Not exactly, keep reading.

He was 69. He is survived by wife Gloria; their three daughters Debra Heyers, Kimberly Oliver, and Cindy Chase; four children from a previous marriage Patricia Bradley and Becky Porter, Robert, and James; and 17 grandchildren. Tuttle was an outfielder, and is still remembered for his theatrical catches while playing 11 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Athletics, and the Minnesota Twins. His legacy, however, will extend far beyond the ballpark. Until his last days, Tuttle, along with his wife Gloria, was an outspoken critic of his nemesis:

    http://64.177.90.157/pfpc/html/newsletter_9.html
    
    Extractions: Summary: Gingivitis and periodontal disease are the oral diseases requiring most urgent intervention. Over 90% of the U.S. population over 13 is affected. Strong links have been made to heart disease and low birth weight and infant mortality. For heart disease the association with gingivitis is stronger than the one for smoking or high cholesterol. As heart disease is the #1 killer in the US, many efforts are undertaken to reduce this alarming figure. In Canada large pictures of a diseased heart are placed on cigarette packs alerting to the fact that smoking causes heart disease. It is of great importance that warning labels and pictures of periodontal disease, oral cancer, diseased hearts, pituitary and thyroid glands, as well as Alzheimer’s brains - just to name a few - are placed on all oral care products containing fluoride. Why? A patent by the pharmaceutical company Sepracor discloses that concentrations of fluorides from fluoridated toothpastes and mouthwashes activate G proteins in the oral cavity, thereby promoting gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as oral cancer. Incomprehensibly, this vital information is being withheld from the public by all parties involved, including the company, at least two well-known Universities, and numerous oral disease experts. This includes a much-decorated ADA scientist who was involved in setting the CDC recommendations for fluoride intake in children, served as head of a Food and Drug Administration subcommittee that decides which dental products to make available to the public, and who chaired the panel on safe use of fluoride for the Centers for Disease Control

    http://www.upmccancercenters.com/cancer/oral/what.html
    
    Extractions: What is Oral Cancer? A cancer of the oral cavity is a malignant tumor arising from the structures in or near the mouth. Most oral cancers are squamous cell carcinoma that is, they begin most typically in the cells that make up the mucous membrane lining the mouth. Rarely, other oral cancers arise from the surrounding structures, such as the jawbone and the hard palate (roof of the mouth). These may be adenocarcinomas (tumors arising from tiny mucous glands in the roof of the mouth or the cheeks) or osteosarcomas (tumors arising from the jawbone). Cancer of the oral cavity represents 6 percent of all cancers diagnosed each year in the United States. The incidence is expected to rise as the population ages. Oral cancer accounts for 30 percent of all cancers in the head and neck. The disease affects males more often than females, by a ratio of 2:1. However, the number of females affected has increased over the past three decades, presumably because of increased use of tobacco by women.

58. 'Man Without A Face' To Talk On Results Of Chewing Tobacco
    As a 12year-old Little Leaguer, Rick Bender tried his first plug of chewing tobacco, emulating his major-league heroes. At age 26, he was diagnosed with oral cancer. He underwent four surgeries over the next two years and lost one-third of his tongue, half of his jaw and partial use of his right arm. Since then, Bender has dedicated his life to educating people about the dangers of spit tobacco.
