Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
An estimated 300373 new cases and 145353 deaths from lip and oral cavity cancer occurred in 2012 worldwide1. To assess the effect of tobacco chewing, smoking and alcohol drinking in the development of the oral cancer and to determine the interaction among these habits, we conducted a hospital based study in Jodhpur, western Rajasthan. Histopathologically confirmed 100 cases of oral cancer were included in this study. The male to female ratio was 2.70:1. The mean age of oral cancer was found to be 51.15 years. The tongue was the most frequently involved site. In our study oral cancer was significantly associated with tobacco chewing, smoking and alcohol drinking. Patients who had combined habit developed oral cancer earlier than who had habit of tobacco chewing alone or smoking alone. Majority of female patients who had tobacco chewing habit developed oral cancer earlier than male patients. The habit of tobacco chewing alone was found to be significant in cancer of buccal mucosa (BM) and anterior 2/3rd of tongue (AOT) in male patients. In female patients tobacco chewing was not found to have a significant association with oral cancer at all sites. Oral hygiene significantly associated with oral cancer in both gender.
