Self-Neglect Associated with a Patient having Oral Cancer
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
The prevalence of oral cancer has increased in the last few decades with the advent of increased availability of tobacco and related products. This in turn has also given rise to the problems associated with it. One significant problem that needs to be understood scientifically is psychosocial effects of oral cancer. Though uncommon, self-neglect is an area which has not been investigated in patients with oral cancer. This article as a clinical case report describes a patient who was diagnosed with oral cancer, which in turn had psychological impact on him in the form of self-neglect. Various scientific factors have also been discussed.
