Unintended Consequences Trailing Cancer of the Oral Cavity: An Overview and Systematic Review

Abstract

Oral cancer rank in the ten most common cancers worldwide, and it is especially seen in disadvantaged elderly males. Men’s risk of been diagnosed with oral cancer is twice that of women. Factors that interact to increase a person's likelihood of developing oral cancer are age, genetics, nutritional status, and hormonal imbalance. This article emphasizes on the unintended consequences, and diagnostic processes of oral cancer and an overview. Detailed evidence-based literature was used in the discus. A relevant search showed that signs and symptoms of oral cancer often resemble red or white patch or ulcer on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth. The principal factors may include heavy smoking (or chewing tobacco products), heavy alcohol consumption, poor dentition, oral sex and biological factors amongst others. As patient consciousness regarding the danger of oral cancer rises, the demand for “screening” and histopathology examination is expected to increase. However, prompt referral to an appropriate specialist allows for the best management. Therefore, to develop more effective approaches to preventing oral cancer, public health professionals need a better understanding of the group at high risk of oral squamous carcinoma. Consequently, early detection and prompt treatment offer the best chance for survival.
