Potentially malignant disorders of the oral cavity: a clinical study.
[oral submucous fibrosis]
Oral
cancers
in
India
,
unlike
in
the
West
are
the
most
common
cancers
encountered
,
be
it
a
primary
or
a
tertiary
referral
practice
.
This
makes
the
study
and
management
of
these
cancers
an
important
issue
especially
for
the
otolaryngologist
.
It
is
well
known
that
the
most
common
variant
of
oral
cancers
is
the
squamous
cell
carcinoma
.
Also
the
etiology
is
well
established
;
with
tobacco
use
in
both
smoking
and
smokeless
forms
,
alcohol
,
betel
nut
and
recently
the
Human
Papilloma
virus
infection
being
implicated
.
Certain
conditions
which
definitely
increase
the
probability
of
getting
oral
cancers
are
known
and
this
study
aims
in
revisiting
these
aspects
of
pre-malignancy
.
The
progression
from
a
pre-cancerous
lesion
/
condition
to
frank
cancer
is
well
established
across
many
studies
and
many
specialties
.
Also
timely
recognizing
these
pre-cancerous
conditions
and
administration
of
proper
treatment
will
greatly
help
in
reducing
the
morbidity
and
mortality
from
subsequent
much
advanced
and
dangerous
oral
cancer
.
Keeping
these
facts
in
mind
this
study
was
planned
to
study
the
established
pre-cancerous
lesions
which
are
known
to
progress
to
oral
cancers
.
