“…A recent study determining the opinions of parents of children aged 9 to 18 on HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers (OPC) has found that out of 150 respondents, only 12.0% of participants had heard about HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers, whereas only 12.9% of participants considered the HPV vaccine to effective in providing immunity for HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers. 37 According to a 2020 review, the knowledge of HPV-associated OPSCC among health care providers ranged from 22% to 100%, whereas a range from 7% to 57% was reported in the general population. 38 These evident gaps in knowledge in regard to HPV-associated OPSCC, together with parental concerns regarding vaccine safety have to be adequately approached to reduce the increasing incidence of HPV-associated OPSCC.…”

Background Human papillomavirus targets the skin and mucous membranes, producing benign hyperplastic lesions and precancerous and cancerous lesions. An increasing number of head and neck cancersin particular, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and oral squamous cell carcinoma, are attributable to HPV infection. HPV-induced HNCs typically affect younger, nonsmoking patients with no prior history of heavy alcohol use, more extensive sexual history, and higher socioeconomic status. Aim The purpose of the review is to present the most recent and well-established findings concerning HPV-induced head and neck cancers and consequently to provide medical specialists with essential information regarding the epidemiology, the role of HPV in HNC cancerogenesis, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Material and Methods All authors independently have searched The EMbase, Medline/Pubmed, and Cochrane databases by using the following keywords “head and neck cancer”, “human papillomavirus”, “HPV”, “HPV biology”, “oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma”, “carcinogenesis”, “transoral surgery”, “robotic surgery”. The last search was conducted in March 2022. The references of the publications of interest were also screened for relevant papers. There were no limitations in regard to the publication date. Conclusion Aiming to avoid the epidemic of HPV-induced HNC, it is paramount to improve the access to vaccination as well as resolve parental concerns regarding vaccine safety. Physicians should rely on reduced-dose radiation and aim to reduce the overall treatment time. Thanks to a more elaborate understanding of the genomic background of HPV-induced HNC, precision medicine could become a relevant part of patients’ management. In comparison to traditional techniques and non-operative treatment, transoral robotic surgery (TORS) offers similar oncologic and functional outcomes, with a possible benefit on long-term quality of life. However, more research is needed to establish clear guidelines indicating when TORS resections should be supported with adjuvant therapy.

“…For digestive tract cancers, on the one hand, it is important to improve the diet structure, avoiding high-calorie, high-fat, and low-fiber foods, and to strengthen exercise to avoid metabolic disorders caused by obesity, which is an inducer of cancer; on the other hand, it is imperative to avoid moldy or overnight food which containing excessive aflatoxin or nitrosamines, to quit betel nut chewing and tobacco consuming, and to reduce alcohol drinking (Rumgay et al, 2021). For tumors caused by viral infections, vaccination and cutting off transmission are equally important (Brisson et al, 2020;Dundar et al, 2022). The government should advocate and raise the awareness of cancer prevention in general population to reduce the chance of malignant transformation in various ways.…”

Cancer is one of the leading causes of human death worldwide. Treatment of cancer exhausts significant medical resources, and the morbidity and mortality caused by cancer is a huge social burden. Cancer has therefore become a serious economic and social problem shared globally. As an increasingly prevalent disease in China, cancer is a huge challenge for the country’s healthcare system. Based on recent data published in the Journal of the National Cancer Center on cancer incidence and mortality in China in 2016, we analyzed the current trends in cancer incidence and changes in cancer mortality and survival rate in China. And also, we examined several key risk factors for cancer pathogenesis and discussed potential countermeasures for cancer prevention and treatment in China.

“…2,3 Strategies to decrease the incidence and mortality of oral and oropharyngeal cancers include evidence-based prevention strategies such as motivational interviewing (MI) to improve oral health education 4 and HPV vaccination to prevent infections and cancers of oropharynx, tonsils, and base of the tongue in both women and men. [5][6][7] Visual and tactile screening by dentists at chairside during routine examinations for the discovery of pre-and cancerous lesions or other conditions that may benefit from treatment or close follow-up is also recommended. 8,9 While not a new concept, the pace of telehealth technologies and methodologies to deliver oral health services has accelerated due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Background: To examine the feasibility and acceptability of integrating a tele-mentoring component into the identification of oral lesions at the dental clinics of a Federally Qualified Health Center network. Design and Methods: General Practice Residency faculty and residents completed research ethics courses and trained dentists to use intra-oral cameras at chairside to photograph oral lesions of patients at routine dental visits. These images were then uploaded into the patient electronic health records (EHRs) with attendant descriptions and an oral surgeon was notified, who reviewed the charts, placed his observations in the EHR, and communicated his findings via secure e-mail to the involved residents, who in turn contacted their patients regarding follow-up actions. Feasibility was assessed via checklists completed by provider participants and semi-structured interviews. Acceptability was assessed via brief exit interviews completed by patient participants. Results: All 12 of the dentist participants reported that they had successfully provided the tele-mentoring intervention, and that the process (from EHR data entry to interaction with the oral surgeon over findings to patient referral) was clear and straightforward. Of 39 patient participants, most strongly agreed or agreed that the use of an intra-oral camera by their dentists helped them to better understand oral cancer screening (94.9%) and that dentists answered their questions about oral cancer and were able to provide them with resources (94.8%). Conclusions: Findings support further implementation research into adapting tele-mentoring using intra-oral cameras for training dental residents to detect and identify oral lesions and educating patients about oral cancer across settings.
