ORAL CANCER: A REVIEW
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Oral cancer, undoubtedly, is among the most common malignancies worldwide, therefore early detection and treatment is imperative. The relatively poor prognosis associated with oral cancer highlights the importance of awareness towards the disease. New research is revealing trends that are changing the way we approach its screening, diagnosis and treatment. Limited access to cancer care, relative lack of trained healthcare providers and financial resources are some of the challenges to the management of oral cancer in India, despite improvements in diagnostic techniques and management strategies. The purpose of this article is to review the research relevant to this association, including epidemiologic studies, diagnostic screening procedures, prevention as well as treatment modalities.
