A Case Report on a Rare Manifestation of Extramedullary Multiple Myeloma in an Elderly Man
This “Clinical Picture” describes a case of extramedullary multiple myeloma manifesting as a rapidly growing intraoral lesion.
Oral SCC Diagnosis Has Greater Affect on Sexual Behavior Than HPV Status
The impact of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) diagnosis and treatment on sexual behavior and relationship stress with respect to HPV status was evaluated in this study. Participants included patients with HPV-positive and HPV-negative disease, as well as partners.
Broccoli Sprout Extracts May Prevent Recurrence of Some Oral Cancers
Beverages derived from broccoli sprout extracts were found to have preclinical chemopreventive activity against oral cancer induced by carcinogens.
Investigation of a Novel Method for Managing Oral Cancer Pain Is Awarded NIDCR Grant
Quality of life for patients with oral cancer can be dismal due to cancer-related pain. An NIDCR grant is supporting the investigation of a nonviral gene delivery method for treating oral cancer pain safely and effectively.
Prevalence of Oropharyngeal Cancer Survivors on the Rise
The prevalence of survivors of oropharyngeal cancer is rising in the United States.
Smokeless Tobacco Users Have Greater Nicotine and Toxin Exposure
Exclusive smokeless tobacco users demonstrated higher levels of nicotine and carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines, compared with exclusive cigarette smokers.
Precision Medicine Trial in Cancer Prevention Identifies Chemoprevention Strategy
A team of scientists has reported that the genetic biomarker LOH is able to predict which patients with premalignant mouth lesions are at highest risk of developing oral cancer. The findings present a new tool that could be used to identify patients most likely to benefit from chemoprevention.
Neutrophil and cancer cell ‘crosstalk’ underlies oral cancer metastases
New research reaffirms the association between inflammatory response and the spread of oral cancer.
