abstract: 'Cancer is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
today. It is estimated that around 43\% of cancer deaths are due to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tobacco use, unhealthy diets, alcohol consumption, inactive lifestyles
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and infection. Low-income and disadvantaged groups are generally more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exposed to avoidable risk factors such as environmental carcinogens,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
alcohol, infectious agents, and tobacco use. These groups also have less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access to the health services and health education that would empower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
them to make decisions to protect and improve their own health.

Oro-pharyngeal cancer is significant component of the global burden of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cancer. Tobacco and alcohol are regarded as the major risk factors for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
oral cancer. The populationattributable risks of smoking and alcohol
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consumption have been estimated to 80\% for males, 61\% for females, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
74\% overall. The evidence that smokeless tobacco causes oral cancer was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
confirmed recently by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Studies have shown that heavy intake of alcoholic beverages is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with nutrient deficiency, which appears to contribute
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
independently to oral carcinogenesis. Oral cancer is preventable through
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risk factors intervention. Prevention of HIV infection will also reduce
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the incidence of HIV/AIDS-related cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lymphoma. The WHO Global Oral Health Programme is committed to work for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
country capacity building in oral cancer prevention, inter-country
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exchange of information and experiences from integrated approaches in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevention and health promotion, and the development of global
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
surveillance systems for oral cancer and risk factors. The WHO Global
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oral Health Programme has established a global surveillance system of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
oral cavity cancer in order to assess risk factors and to help the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
planning of effective national intervention programmes. Epidemiological
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data on oral cancer (ICD-10: C00-C08) incidence and mortality are stored
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the Global Oral Health Data Bank. In 2007, the World Health Assembly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(WHA) passed a resolution on oral health for the first time in 25 years,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which also considers oral cancer prevention. The resolution WHA60 A16

|
URGES Member states-To take steps to ensure that prevention of oral
|
|
|
|

cancer is an integral part of national cancer-control programmes, and to
