“…However, this differs appreciably from the 72.2% 5-year survival of oral 6 squamous cell carcinoma in the United Kingdom. Although the exact reasons for this disparity are not known, survival of oral cancer have been reported to depend on several factors such as the histological type and grade of the oral cancer, stage of the disease, site of occurrence, presence of lymph node involvement and/or distant metastasis, extent of surgical intervention, surgical margin, pre-treatment 29,36,37 monocyte count, age and gender.…”

Background: Orofacial cancers remain a significant health burden globally, especially in the developing countries where the incidence is higher and appears to be increasing. This study aims to document the pattern, management and survivorship of patients with orofacial cancers as seen at a tertiary healthcare facilityin Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who presented at our centre with orofacial cancers in the period between January 2010 and December. Patients' demographics, location of lesion, histopathological diagnosis, treatment given and follow-up events were extracted from the records. Patient with insufficient data for analysis were excluded. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 21. Results: 21,090 patients were seen during the study period and 228 of the 1,029 biopsies done were malignant. The study included 213 patients (121 males and 92 females. mean age 48.2 years) with orofacial cancers. The commonest sites were the jaws (48.8%), palate (13.1%) and the tongue (7.5%).Carcinomas constituted 71.8% and were the commonest malignancies. All patients presented in stages III (34.6%) or IV (65.4%). 39.4% of patients had no treatment instituted and surgery alone (21.9%) was the commonest treatment provided. The mean interval between treatment and recurrence was 3.0 months while mean expiration period was 13.5 months. Conclusion: Treatment conferred a higher probability of survival. Patients treated with surgery (and radiotherapy/chemotherapy) survived better than those treated non-aggressively. In general, about a third (30.8%) of orofacial cancer patients were alive at 5 years post presentation and about 50% of these survivors were living with the disease.

“…Este conhecimento é importante para uma avaliação sistematizada da mucosa oral e, ainda, pelo fato de os tumores de língua e assoalho terem comportamento agressivo e alta taxa de metástase cervical, chegando a 50% no caso do câncer de língua. 19 Awojobi et al, 5 investigando a percepção dos pacientes frente à prática dos dentistas, verificou que apenas 13% dos participantes relataram ter recebido algum tipo de exame físico na região do pescoço e, dessa parcela, apenas 44% haviam recebido uma explicação para o procedimento. Laronde et al 20 chegaram a conclusão de que, mesmo que a maioria dos cirurgiões-dentistas entrevistados alegassem realizar a palpação de linfonodos, um nú-mero expressivo de casos de cadeias palpáveis não foram elucidadas ou relacionadas com alguma história médica.…”

Revista Brasileira de Odontologia 186Conhecimento dos alunos de Odontologia na identificação do câncer oral Introdução S egundo estimativa do Instituto Nacional do Câncer, 1 são esperados 15.490 novos casos de câncer oral para 2016 em todo o Brasil; destes, 11.140 apenas em homens, um número alarmante. O câncer oral representa um grande desafio para a saúde pública, pois a extinção do tumor e a reabilitação são difíceis de alcançar. Além disso, diagnósticos tardios envolvem tratamentos complexos, cirurgias mutiladoras e prognósticos duvidosos, diminuindo a qualidade de vida do indivíduo. 2Das neoplasias malignas que ocorrem na mucosa bucal, aproximadamente, 90% são originadas do epitélio de revestimento bucal, denominadas de carcinoma de células escamosas. Outros tumores mais raros são representados por carcinomas de glândulas salivares, sarcomas, melanoma, entre outros. 3A primeira linha de atuação na detecção do câncer oral faz parte das competências do cirurgião-dentista e consiste na realização de um minucioso exame intraoral, incluindo lábios e região de orofaringe. Infelizmente, quase metade de todos os cânceres orais não é diagnosticado até que estejam em estado avançado. 4 Desta maneira, estar familiarizado com os aspectos clínicos do câncer oral torna esta tarefa menos propensa ao erro, pois carcinomas em estágios iniciais podem ter características sutis, ausência de dor, não sendo muitas vezes percebidos pelo paciente. Os profissionais devem incluir rotinas de rastreamento do câncer oral em sua prática clínica, mesmo que não solicitado pelo paciente. 5Tendo em vista a importância destes conhecimentos para o cirurgião-dentista, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, por meio de questionário investigativo, o grau de conhecimento e as opiniões dos estudantes de Odontologia do Espírito Santo sobre o câncer oral, com questões sobre prevenção, métodos de diagnóstico e tratamento. Material e MétodosTrata-se de um estudo observacional de natureza transversal que buscou verificar o conhecimento e opiniões de estudantes de Odontologia sobre câncer oral. Para tal, foi elaborado um questionário contendo 16 questões sobre o tema. As questões tratavam de temas pertinentes ao diagnóstico e conduta frente ao câncer oral, como fatores de risco, características clínicas, biópsia, palpação de linfonodos cervicais, encaminhamento e tratamento, além de abordar as atitudes e práticas clínicas dos graduandos e investigar seus interesses e percepções sobre o assunto.Previamente
