Cure of oral cancer

Oral cancer is the sixth most common type of cancer worldwide; one person dies every hour from the disease. It is the development of abnormal cells in the oral cavity. The areas in which this cancer will most commonly develop are tongue, gums or oropharynx. According to statistics, nearly as many women will be diagnosed with oral cancer as with cervical cancer every year. The key to reducing the impact of this disease is early detection. Rates for new oral cancer cases have increased, over the last ten years alone. For those who are diagnosed early survival rate is also increased. Over the past years, death rates for oral cancer have remained stable despite of our efforts in screening and advanced technologies; with death being more common amongst men aged above 50. Among all other related cancers HPV oral and oropharyngeal cancers are harder to discover because their symptoms are not always obvious. Oral cancer is preventable if the triggers of this disease are predictable and understandable. Some common factors that can lead to oral cancer are the overconsumption of alcohol and excessive smoking. Consequently, those 2 factors are not the only ones that can provoke this serious malady.

Other risk factors include:

Age –patients who are over 40 years old.

Sun exposure – Chances of developing cancer on the lips are high on continued exposure to sun

Diet – If you eat fewer fruits and vegetables your chances of developing oral cancer is high

HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) – Linked to the development of oral cancer.

Symptoms:

A pain or sore in the mouth that does not go away

o   A lump or thickening in the cheek

o   A white or red patch anywhere in the mouth lasting more than two weeks

o   Trouble chewing or swallowing

o   Numbness in the tongue or anywhere else in mouth

o   Swelling of the jaw

o   A lump in the neck

o   Weight loss

o   Persistent bad breath

Detection

Unfortunately, oral cancer is not usually found so early. At a later stage, the odd of 5-year survival drops down. In fact, the estimation states that that one in four individuals diagnosed with oral cancer will not survive because their diagnosis and treatment were delayed. This shows the importance of detection of oral cancer at the earliest.

Early detection and treatment has a proven value in increasing survival rates for this serious malady. To offer people the greatest chance of recovering from the maladious dental disorders, Dentistry Medicine 2019,scheduled to be held in November18-19, 2019 at Bali, Indonesia keep abreast of current research in the area and paves way to explore and utilize the most appropriate and effective high-tech systems broadening trends in the stream of dentistry.
