10 September 2001 Monday 21 Jamadi-us-Saani 1422 Please Visit our Sponsor (Ads open in separate window) KARACHI :Betel nut chewing causes mouth cancer KARACHI, Sept 9: Excessive use of sweet chalia, pan masala, gutka and manpuri is causing mouth cancer among youth, one-fourth of whom are below 18 years of age, a survey revealed. The survey conducted on Sunday further found that the cause of cancer in at least 425 patients was excessive use of gutka, pan masala and manpuri etc. One-fourth of the cancer patients were below 18 years of age, while the youngest was only 10-year old. Out of 425 patients, 91 were unable to open their mouth freely. They could hardly open it a centimetre or so, making it impossible for the doctor to examine the inside of mouth. Majority of people living in areas like Ramswami, Golimar, Garden, Pakistan Chowk, Landhi, Korangi and others, are in the habit of consuming these dangerous items. Although chalia consumption is commonly considered an unharmful habit, but its hazards are countless and lasts through generations. It causes stiffness in the muscles and tissues of the mouth causing the tongue to behave like one made of rubber which are symptoms of initiation of cancer. The mouth of the patient becomes so stiff that it has to be opened with instruments and retained in this position with the help of wood or plastic strips to prevent further stricture.

Greater Glasgow NHS Board Dalian House 350 St Vincent Street Glasgow NEWS RELEASE Wednesday, 07 November 2001 Mouth Cancer Awareness Week th November 2001 Pharmacists and Dentists across Glasgow are uniting this week to tackle the rising incidence of mouth cancer. Greater Glasgow NHS Board launches a campaign to raise awareness of the disease as figures show that mouth cancer rates in Scotland among adults are almost double the figures for England. Liz Grant, Health Promotion Pharmacist at GGNHSB said:- “Mouth cancer is on the increase, with between 400 and 500 new cases being identified each year. It affects adults, mainly men over 50 years of age however with 15 of cases occurring in people aged under 50 years this should not be viewed as an older person’s disease. Although the causes of mouth cancer are not known, it is linked to smoking and heavy drinking. By reducing the amount of alcohol we drink and quitting smoking we can reduce the risk of this disease. “This campaign is aimed at encouraging all people, whether they are aware of any problems or not, to visit their dentist at least once a year. The dentist will routinely check not only your teeth but also your cheeks, tongue, gums and lips.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Oral or mouth cancer most commonly involves the tissue of the lips or the tongue. It may also occur on the floor of the mouth, cheek lining, gingiva (gums), or palate (roof of the mouth). Most oral cancers look very similar under the microscope and are called squamous cell carcinomas . These are malignant and tend to spread rapidly. The exact cause is unknown. Smoking and other tobacco use are associated with 70-80% of oral cancer cases. Smoke and heat from cigarettes , cigars, and pipes irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth. Use of chewing tobacco or snuff causes irritation from direct contact with the mucous membranes. Heavy alcohol use is another high-risk activity associated with oral cancer.

document.write(strNavBar); Frequently Asked Questions 1. Why is this charity necessary? The scientific evidence base for treatment methods of facial diseases and injuries is severely limited. Although many advances have been made in the treatment of facial disease, all too often current treatment is based historical precedent – how the particular doctor or surgeon was trained. There is a wide divergence in the treatment offered by different surgeons. Each surgeon will defend their treatment choice vigorously because there is no absolute proof that demonstrates what is the correct treatment. Clearly, some of the surgeons must be choosing inferior treatment options, not out of malice, but because of widespread uncertainty about what is correct, based on gold-standard scientific studies (the prospective, randomised, controlled trial). Saving Faces is the charity which will seek answers to the question – What is the best way to treat diseases and injuries affecting the face and mouth? Diseases such as cancer; injuries caused by car crashes and assaults which destroy young people’s hopes and aspirations; and disfigurements and deformities which blight their lives. 2.

document.write(strNavBar); Facial Facts: Facial injury and mouth cancer statistics: ONE million people a year seek treatment at an accident and emergency department for facial injury. Four in 10 cases are the result of falls or accidents. Those aged between 15 and 25 suffer the worst injuries - often caused by assault and involving drunkenness. Mouth cancer is the sixth most common cancer, with nearly 2,000 new cases a year - similar to cervical cancer and melanoma. Parts affected include the tongue, cheeks and parts of the throat (excluding the voice box or larynx) and half die from these cancers. Add in jaws, lips and sinuses and the number of new cases a year rises to 4,000. Some 2,000 babies are born each year with severe defects such as cleft lip and palate, double noses or displaced eyes. About 15,000 children would benefit from surgery for less severe but marked, distortions which develop in childhood and worsen later. Grating, clicking and pain in the jaw joint affect three in four people. Most troubles resolve themselves, but 50,000 people consult hospital specialists. Research into new treatments is urgently needed.

49. Evelyn Hospital - Mouthcancer mouth cancer – THE DISEASE ONLY HALF THE POPULATION KNOWS EXIST. Nationalmouth cancer Awareness week from 10 – 17 November 2002. http://www.evelynhospital.org/news/mouthcancer.HTM

RELEASE DATE: 8 November 2002 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) represents surgeons who specialise in mouth cancer. The first mouth cancer awareness campaign was organised by BAOMS in 1995. This has raised public awareness with the result that people do not delay seeking advice for the ulcer or red or white patch in their mouth, which is may be cancerous and can be treated when the cancer is smaller so they have a much higher chance of being cured. A recent study shows that before 1995 (when the first mouth cancer awareness campaign was run by BAOMS) only 1 in 5 patients who had mouth cancer knew that cancer could occur in the mouth. After 1995, thanks to the campaign publicised by the media every year, half of the patients attending with mouth cancer now know about the disease. Their average delay seeking advice has dropped to 2 months and the most that any patient has delayed is now 6 months. In the UK, mouth cancer occurs almost as frequently as leukaemia, or skin melanoma, and is more common than cervical cancer. What is mouth cancer?

Public release date: 16-Dec-2002 Contact: Darrell E. Ward wardd@msnotes.wustl.edu Washington University School of Medicine New tongue reconstruction methods help patients with mouth cancer St. Louis, Dec. 16, 2002 Surgeons at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed new techniques for reconstructing the tongue during surgery for mouth cancer. The researchers found that the new methods often restore a patient's ability to articulate speech and swallow normal food. The findings are published in the December issue of the Archives of Otolaryngology. "As surgeons, we are most concerned about removing all of the cancer, but we also want to preserve the person's quality of life," says lead author Bruce H. Haughey, M.D., associate professor of otolaryngology. "This work strives to improve both." About 30,000 Americans develop cancers of the mouth each year. Most are caused by tobacco and alcohol use, and the tongue is the site most often affected. The tongue is a complex and specialized organ that performs many critical functions, says Haughey, who also is a clinical investigator with the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the School of Medicine. It is essential for speech and word enunciation, and it positions food in the mouth for chewing before sweeping it back to the throat for swallowing. The tongue's most important function, however, is to protect the airway from swallowed food and liquids. Loss of tissue from the tongue can allow food or liquids to be aspirated into the lungs, where it can cause serious and sometimes fatal pneumonias.

Search Automotive Traffic Travel Real Estate ... HealthWatch Archive Email This Story Print This Story Mouth Cancer Detection Gets Easier Simple Test Diagnoses Dangerous Disease Cherie Bank, NBC 10 Medical Reporter Modern Dental Concepts screened 300 people for free at its NBC 10 Fit Fest booth this weekend. It was during these routine check ups that Dr. Richard Rush, a volunteer, found three people with suspicious lesions that could turn out to be cancerous. "People come in to get their teeth cleaned (and) then all (of a) sudden they are told they have something there. Most people are taken aback by it," Rush said. These patients are told they may have mouth cancer, something that had been difficult to diagnose in recent years. The survival rate for mouth cancer was 50 percent in 1980, and 20 years later, the rate hasn't changed. But detection has gotten easier, because of a little brush that allows dentists to collect specimens from a patient's mouth. Patients only have to wait three days for the results of the test. And the test determines if the cells collected are normal cancerous or precancerous. Your dentist should be looking for lesions at every visit. All of these lesions are cancerous or precancerous.

Mature Pet Articles Petcheck My Pet Pages Preparing for End-of-Life Early Detection Takes The Bite Out of Mouth Cancer By Carrie Gustavson, Information Specialist, University of Illinois, College of Veterinary Medicine Squamous cell carcinoma is the No. 1 oral cancer affecting cats. It seems that being neat is their downfall cats may be particularly prone to mouth cancer because they are so meticulous. "Grooming may expose the cat's tongue and mouth to carcinogens from the air," says Dr. Pamela Jones, oncology resident at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana. "Environmental carcinogens can land on the cat's coat and get into its oral tissues when it grooms." Carcinogens bombard the squamous cells the flattened epithelial cells that line the oral cavity causing a few to start dividing uncontrollably. When that happens, a tumor may result. That doesn't mean you should try to prevent your cat from grooming. But since most cats are not particularly fond of having someone poke around in their mouth, a tumor there may go unnoticed by owners until clinical signs show up. "That's the hard part with oral tumors," says Dr. Jones. "They are hard to spot if you don't look in the mouth all the time." Taking your cat to a veterinarian at least once a year for a physical and oral exam is the best way to catch this disease early. With early detection, this cancer can possibly be completely eliminated. The cancer may look like a raised, reddened, ulcerated mass. When the signs of drooling and lack of appetite appear, the lesion has likely been there for several months.
