Fortunately the entire oral cavity is accessible to clinical inspection and digital palpation so that any part of the mouth may be examined without special equipment; Therefore the diagnosis of any suspected lesion can be made by direct objective findings rather than by indirect or complicated methods.

Ağız Kanserlerinde Erken Teşhis

Abstract

Ağız kanserlerinde erken teşhisin önemi fazla olduğundan Gülhane tıp akademisinde 1957-1962 arasında beş senede gelen 435 vakanın bir bir analizi yapılmış ve bunların münakaşasında bilhassa pratisyen hekimle diş tabibine ağız kanserleri ve bunlarla karşılaşabilecek hastalıklar hakkında bilgi verilmiş ve ayrılmalarının sağlanması için icabeden yollar gösterilmiştir. Memleketimizde de diğer medeni memleketler gibi bugün kanser insidansı fazlalaşmıştır. Bu bakımdan geç doktorların bu hususta yeterli bilgiye sahip olmaları lazımdır. Bu yazım daha ziyade bu gaye ile ele alınmıştır.
