Product Description

Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity (SCCOC) is one of the most prevalent tumors of the head and neck region. Despite improvements in treatment, the survival of patients with SCCOC has not significantly improved over the past several decades. Most frequently, treatment failure takes the form of local and regional recurrences, but as disease control in these areas improves, SCCOC treatment failures more commonly occur as distant metastasis. The presence of cervical lymph node metastasis is the most reliable adverse prognostic factor in patients with SCCOC, and extracapsular spread (ECS) of cervical lymph nodes metastasis is a particularly reliable predictor of regional and distant recurrence and death from disease. Decisions regarding elective and therapeutic management of cervical lymph node metastases are made mainly on clinical grounds as we cannot always predict cervical lymph node metastasis from the size and extent of invasion of the primary tumors. Therefore the treatment of the neck disease in the management of SCCOC remains controversial. The promise of using biomarker-based treatment decisions has yet to be fully realized due to our poor understanding of the mechanisms of regional and distant metastases of SCCOC. We will summarize the current status of investigations into SCCOC metastases and potential of these studies to impact basic research investigators and clinicians confronting SCCOC in the future.

Product Description
Oral cancer is a relatively uncommon subset ofcancer but is extremely devastating in its outcomesand often harshly limits patients? quality of life. The treatments for oral cancer such as radicalresective surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy,which are imperative for patient survival, havenumerous sequelae which often result in disabilitiesas debilitating as the cancer itself.Thesedisabilities can include disfigurement, decreasedability to communicate, and decreased ability tochew causing nutritional concerns.Disabilities ofthis magnitude have a tremendous impact on thequality of life of these patients leading to socialisolation.In many instances, these patients cannotreturn to employment resulting in lost income and anincreased burden on public assistance programs. Maxillofacial and dental prosthetics can amelioratethese disabilities to some degree; but resectivesurgery and radiation negatively impact the supportfor tissue borne prosthetic devices. Ossoeintegrated dental implants can provideadditional support for dental prosthetic devices topotentially allow better functional results andprevent trauma on compromised tissues. ... Read more

Product Description
Oral cancer, the most common cancer of the head andneck region, ranks eighth among the most prevalentcancers in the world. Despite advances intechnology and treatment the survival rate has notbeen improved in the last decades. Oral canceraffects not only the quantity but also the qualityof life (QOL). The present studyinvestigated for the first time the burden of oralcancer in Tehran, Iran in terms of patient andtumor characteristics, survival rate, and delay indiagnosis. At the time of diagnosis, most oralcancer patients were at advanced stages. Oralcancer patients? survival was negatively associatedwith tumor stage at diagnosis. The findings of thisstudy revealed that the total time elapsed betweenthe onset of symptoms and diagnosis, the diagnosticdelay, was high. This may explain the low survivalrate of the oral cancer patients. Based on thefindings, developing preventive programs that focuson raising public awareness about the signs andsymptoms of oral cancer is essential in promotingearlier diagnosis of oral cancer in Tehran, Iran.This study should be especially useful toprofessionals in oral health fields. ...
