口腔癌是当今人类面临的最致命的健康问题之一。在印度，由于文化、种族、地理因素和成瘾习惯的普及，口腔癌的发病率很高。它在男性发病率中排名第一，在女性发病率中排名第三。一些因素，如烟草和烟草相关产品、酒精、遗传易感性和激素因素被怀疑是可能的致病因素。因此，本研究旨在确定2009-2010年24个月期间在印度Sangli Bharati Vidyapeeth大学牙科学院门诊部就诊的患者口腔癌的患病率。此外，还评估了各种烟酒消费习惯与口腔癌发生部位的关系。对来自印度马哈拉施特拉邦西部Sangli半城市地区的约35122名受试者进行了筛查。吸烟和饮酒是研究人群的普遍习惯。其中约112例为口腔癌。口腔癌患病率为1.12%。采用SPSS软件11进行统计分析。本研究的结果揭示了口腔癌的高患病率和各种成瘾物质在社会上的猖獗滥用。需要对这一人群进行密切随访和系统评价。有必要在更广泛的范围内开展有关烟草和酒精消费不良影响的教育。迫切需要有社区卫生工作者、牙医和相关医疗专业人员参与的意识项目。
Oral cancer is one of the most fatal health problems faced by the mankind today. In India, because of cultural, ethnic, geographic factors and the popularity of addictive habits, the frequency of oral cancer is high. It ranks number one in terms of incidence among men and third among women. Several factors like tobacco and tobacco related products, alcohol, genetic predisposition and hormonal factors are suspected as possible causative factors. Hence the study was designed to determine the prevalence of Oral Cancer in patients who attended the outpatient department, at Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Dental College Sangli India during a period of 24 months in 2009-2010. Further various modes of tobacco and alcohol consuming habit were assessed along with the site of occurrence of oral cancer. About 35,122 subjects belonging to a semi-urban district of Sangli in Western Maharashtra (India) were screened. Tobacco and alcohol consumption was the common habit among the study population. Out of these about 112 cases showed Oral Cancer. The prevalence of Oral Cancer was 1.12%. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS software 11. The findings in the present study reveal a high prevalence of Oral Cancer and a rampant misuse of variety of addictive substances in the community. Close follow up and systematic evaluation is required in this population. Education about ill effects of tobacco and alcohol consumption is necessary at a broader scale. There is an urgent need for awareness programs involving the community health workers, dentists and allied medical professionals.
