PREVENTION OF ORAL CANCER

口腔软组织病变，癌前病变和癌症是最常见的 严重的，如果是危及生命的口腔癌， 条件 许多这些疾病的风险因素显然是 确定为与医学疾病和治疗有关的合并症， 吸烟和饮酒等高危行为。 为此， 这些条件和导致这些条件的风险是明确的目标， 促进健康。 该分支正在积极进行研究， 识别相关的知识、观点和实践 并将重点放在干预研究上 这可以改善降低发病率和患病率的策略， 这些条件和相关的风险行为。 工作人员一直在 对1990年NHIS数据进行分析， 口腔癌的症状有哪些？ 这些分析是 在1993年国际发展成果评估会议上介绍的基础上， 为了出版的手稿 工作人员正在与一个小组合作 马里兰州大学的研究人员关于全州范围内的 研究公众和健康的知识，意见和实践 口腔癌的治疗方法工作人员积极参与 关于口腔癌和相关危险行为的机构间论坛， 以确定研究和方案需求。

Oral soft tissue lesions, precancers and cancers are among the most serious, and in the case of oral cancer life-threatening, oral conditions. The risk factors for many of these conditions are clearly identified as comorbidities with medical conditions and treatments and with high risk behaviors such as tobacco and alcohol use. To that end, these conditions and the risks leading to them are clear targets for health promotion. The Branch is actively pursuing research which identifies correlates of knowledge, opinions and practices associated with these oral conditions and brings focus to intervention research which could improve strategies to reduce the incidence and prevalence of these conditions and associated risk behaviors. Staff have been conducting analyses of the 1990 NHIS data regarding knowledge of the risks, signs, and symptoms of oral cancer. These analyses were the basis of a presentation at the 1993 IADR session and are being expanded for a manuscript for publication. Staff are collaborating with a group of researchers at the University of Maryland regarding a statewide study of the knowledge, opinions and practices of the public and health care providers regarding oral cancer. Staff have been active in interagency forums on oral cancer and associated risk behaviors which have been held to identify research and program needs.
