“…According to Petti et al [9], the severity of the oral lesions listed as OPMD subsides on eliminating the risk factors such as the use of tobacco, consumption of alcohol, betel nut, and combination of the habits. Dogenski et al 2020 [3], in their study, recorded that tobacco usage contributed about 44.70% to causing oral leukoplakia, followed by idiopathological factors (28.03%), alcohol consumption (9.85%), and sun exposure (9.09%).…”

“…In 1861, Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky used the term leukoplakia to refer to the white lesions of the urinary tract. Later, Schwimmer, in 1877, was the first person to use the term for an oral white lesion [3]. In 1994, WHO defined leukoplakia as "a predominantly white lesion of oral mucosa that cannot be characterized as any other definable lesion clinically or pathologically, often associated with tobacco products, some of which will transform into cancer".Tobacco was introduced in Europe in the late fifteenth century and was later introduced to the Indian market by Portuguese traders within the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century.…”

The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of oral leukoplakia and to assess the risk of developing oral leukoplakia in patients with tobacco-related habits among the populations of Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu, India. Materials and MethodsIncidence and prevalence of oral leukoplakia differ among different populations in India due to cultural and demographic diversities. The results obtained from this study can be used as a reference in future research and policy-making for tobacco control. Data for this study were manually ascertained from the

Background: Cancer burden can be reduced by early detection of early neoplastic changes applying suitable screening methods. This study aimed to assess the utility of nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) quantitation in early prediction of lung neoplastic transformation. Methodology: This study investigated 200 apparently healthy individuals categorized into two groups; smoking exposed individuals (N=100), and were categorized as cases, and smoking nonexposed (N=100), and were ascertained as controls. Sputum specimen was attained from each participant (paying all indispensable safety precautions and sample adequacy processes). Results: Out of the 200 volunteers assessed in the present study, mean NORs counts of >2.00 were identified in 16/200(8%) of the study subjects. All 16/16(100%) cases were found with lung epithelial metaplasia (squamous metaplasia). Out of the 100 cases, mean NORs counts of >2.00 were identified in 16/100(16%), hence, all the controls were identified with mean NORs counts of <2.00. The risk of lung cellular proliferative changes associated with smoking exposure are odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval, CI) = 39.2485 (2.3199-664.0052), p = 0.0110, z statistic = 2.543. Conclusion: NORs count is a simple, specific, cost-effective, and reliable method that can give a quantitative measurement for the risk of lung neoplastic transformation. For at risk-population (tobacco users), it is recommended to perform the argyrophilic NORs (AgNORs) method beside sputum cytology.
