Oral Cancer
Oral Cancer has evolved to be the disease with highest mortality rate in Indian population. Once diagnosed, the only definitive treatment is surgery, which is related with serious morbidity and social impact on the life of the sufferer. Efficient preventive measures can help in reducing the number of oral cancer patients and their by reducing the death toll secondary to this wicked disease.
What is Oral Cancer?
Oral cancer has become a taboo to the natives of India because of easy availability of tobacco and betel associated products at relatively cheaper price.
Unfortunately, diagnosis of oral cancer relies on patient presentation and clinical examination. It is later confirmation using BIOPSY and histopathological examination. This may result in delay in diagnosis, leading to less efficient treatment and chances of increased mortality.
Persons consuming these adverse products are well aware of the consequences of their habit. Unluckily, these patients are not aware of the treatment protocol (if they develop oral cancer) and the huge cost involved in the treatment even in government hospitals.
Even post treatment, the rate of reoccurrence is quite high which leaves the sufferer poor and debilitating for his life which is left. Immense financial burden and prolonged duration of treatment leaves the whole family disturbed and shattered for years.
A huge majority of patients (villagers, poor patients) don’t even take treatment because of the money and time involved and die suffering.
Usually, mouth cancer occurs after some cancerous changes in several potentially malignant conditions, like Lichen Planus, OSMF, Leukoplakia, etc. These conditions, if diagnosed in time can be treated well and their conversion into mouth cancer can be prevented.
