Abstract

Oral cancer is a major health problem for most countries, with overall five-year survival rates around 50-60%, and it has a multifactorial aetiology. Squamous cell carcinomas accounts for more than 90% of malignant tumours of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Epidemiological studies have shown a strong association between oral cancer and environmental carcinogens, particularly the habitual use of tobacco, alcohol and betel quid. Hence, it is important for the public and the clinicians to be completely aware of the risk factors for oral cancer. It is prudent for dentists to look carefully for early signs of oral cancer, while routine examination of the oral cavity especially in patients with history of known risk factors. In this review, we aimed to give some information about etiologic factors of oral cancer such as tobacco, alcohol, viruses and also want to draw attention to the importance of oral cancers’ early diagnosis

Oral Kanserin Risk Faktörleri

Abstract

Ağız kanseri %50-60 oranındaki beş yıllık sağ kalım oranlarıyla birçok ülkede başlıca sağlık problemlerindendir ve birden fazla risk faktörü vardır. Ağızda görülen kanserlerin %90’ından fazlası epitel yüzeyinden köken alan skuamöz hücreli karsinomlardır. Epidemiyolojik çalışmalar özellikle tütün ürünleri, alkol ve betel-nut kullanım alışkanlığı gibi çevresel karsinojenlerle ağız kanseri arasında güçlü bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu nedenle toplumun ve klinisyenlerin ağız kanserinin riskleri konusunda farkındalığının olması önemlidir. Diş hekimleri özellikle bilinen risk faktörlerinin olduğu hastalarda rutin muayene sırasında ağız kavitesini oral kanserin erken bulguları açısından da dikkatlice incelemelidirler. Bu derlemede tütün, alkol, virüsler gibi ağız kanserinin risk faktörleri ile ilgili bilgi verilmesi ve ağız kanserlerinin erken teşhisinin önemine dikkat çekilmesi amaçlanmıştır
