Risk • Smoking andchewingtobacco. • Heavyalcohol use. • A diet low in fruitsandvegetables. • Chewing betel quid, a stimulant commonlyused in partsofAsia. • Beinginfectedwithhumanpapilloma virus (HPV). • EBV infection. • plummer-Vinson syndrome. • poornutrition • ill-fittingdenturesandotherroughsurfaces on theteeth • P53 mutation
Risk • Alcohol and tobacco use are the most common risk factors. Theyare likely synergistic in causing cancer poor diet resulting in vitamin deficiencies • Environmental carcinogens include occupational exposures such as nickel • BUT-marijuana use was not shown to be associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma (potential protective factor against the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Dietaryfactors • Excessive consumption of processed meats and red meat were associated with increased rates of cancer • Betel nut chewing is associated with an increased risk of squamous cell cancer of the head and neck • Salted fish (nitrites) – nasopharyngealcarcinoma • Consumption of raw and cooked vegetables seemed to be protective. • Vitamin E was not found to prevent the development of leukoplakia
Human papillomavirus • HPV16, is a causal factor for some head and neck squamous cell carcinoma . Approximately 15 to 25% contain genomic DNA from HPV, • HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer, with highest distribution in the tonsils, where HPV DNA is found in (45 to 67%) of the cases, • less often in the hypopharynx (13%–25%) • least often in the oral cavity (12%–18%) and larynx (3%–7%). • cancers of the tonsil may be infected with HPV(25%) • Oral sex can result in HPV-related cancer
Epstein-Barr virus • Associatedwithnasopharyngealcancer – high grade. • Nasopharyngealcanceroccursendemically - MediterraneancountriesandAsia, EBV antibodytiterscanbemeasured to screenhigh-risk populations
Oral cavity – benignepithelialtumors • Squamouspapilloma • lesscommonthan in larynx • Adults 30-50 yrs • HPV 6 and 11 • Condylomaaccuminatum • youngadults – lip, palate • Verruciformxantoma • Middleagedtoolderadults • Alveolarridges
Prognosis • HPV-positive cancerstend to havehighersurvivalrates. • Theprognosisforpeoplewithoropharyngealcancerdepends on theageandhealthofthe person andthestageofthedisease. Itisimportantforpeoplewithoropharyngealcancer to havefollow-upexamsforthe rest oftheirlives as cancercanoccur in nearbyareas. • Itisimportant to eliminate risk factors such as smoking anddrinkingalcohol, whichincreasethe risk forsecondcancers • Locationand type of tumor
Oral cavity –precursor (premalignantlesions) • HIGH-risk lesions • Leukoplakia • Erythroplakia • speckledErythroplakia (a mixtureofboth) • chronichyperplasticcandidiasis • dysplasia • Medium- risk lesions • oral submucosalfibrosis • syphiliticglossitis • sideropenicdysphagia • low-risk lesions • oral lichenplanus • discoid lupus erythematosus • discoidkeratosiscongenita
Erythroplakia Erythroplakia is a general term for red, flat, or eroded velvety lesions that develop in the mouth. In this image, an exophytic squamous cell carcinoma is surrounded by a margin of erythroplakia.
Oral cavity – malignantepithelialtumors • Squamous cell carcinoma (thevast majority ofheadandneckcancers) • Conventional (keratinizing) • Endophytic X exophytic X ulcerated • Nonkeratinizing • HPV16-95% • Asymptomaticneckmass • Verrucouscarcinoma • Welldifferentiated, non metastasizing ca • Spindle cell ca • Adenosquamouscarcinoma • Neuroendocrice ca • High grade, poorprognosis
Oral cavity – malignantepithelialtumors • Squamouscarcinomas – the most common • Prognosisassociatedwithlocation • Lip (goodprognosis) • Tongue (highlyaggresive) • Mouthfloor (highlyaggresive) • Bucalmucosa (highlyaggresive) • Gingiva (slowgrowth)
Oral cavity, mesenchymal tu • Vascular • Pyegenicgranuloma (Lobularcapillaryhemangioma), lip, tongue, gingivalandbucalmucosa • Hemangioma • Lymphangioma • Kaposi´s sarcoma
Oral cavity, mesenchymal tu • Peripheralossifying tumor • Gingiva, alongincisors • Peripheralgiant cell granuloma • Gingiva alongincisors, caused by chronicirritation • Congenitalgranular cell epulis • Lipoma • Osteoma(torus palatinus, mandibularis) • Fibrosarcoma
Oral cavity, neuroectodermal tu • Neurinoma • Neurofibroma • Melanocyticnevus • Malignantmelanoma • 60 yrs (20-80) • More aggresivethancutaneous
