Oral cancer research

S new in oral cancer » oral cancer facts » what’s new in oral cancer ’s new in oral cancer research. 12-14t22:05:16+00:ant research into oral and oropharyngeal cancer is underway in many university hospitals, medical centers, and other institutions around the country. Each year, scientists find out more about what causes the disease, how to prevent it, and how to improve changes: a great deal of research is being done to learn what dna changes are responsible for causing cells of the oral cavity and oropharynx to become cancerous. One of the changes often found in dna of oral cancer cells is a mutation of the p53 gene. Damage to p53 dna can lead to increased growth of abnormal cells and formation of cancers. Recent studies suggest that tests to detect these p53 gene alterations may allow very early detection of oral and oropharyngeal tumors. These tests may also be used to better define surgical margins (check to see if all cancer cells have been removed) and to determine which tumors are most likely to respond to surgery or radiation r dna change found in some oral cancers is that dna from a papillomavirus (hpv) becomes mixed together with the patient’s own dna. Studies are underway to determine whether tests to detect hpv dna may help in diagnosing these growth factors: researchers have discovered naturally occurring substances in the body that promote cell growth. Some cancer cells grow especially fast because they contain more growth factor receptors than normal cells do. One of the growth factors that has been linked to oral and oropharyngeal cancers is called epidermal growth factor or egf. These drugs work by preventing egf from promoting reproduction of cancer cells, and may also help the patient’s immune system recognize and attack the cancer.

Preliminary studies indicate that at least one such drug, called c225, makes radiation therapy more effective in killing head and neck squamous cell chemotherapy: researchers continue to develop new chemotherapy drugs that might be more effective against advanced oral and oropharyngeal cancer. Intraarterial chemotherapy (injection of drugs into arteries feeding the cancer) is being tested in combination with radiation therapy in an attempt to improve their effectiveness. Another new approach to treating head and neck cancers is intralesional chemotherapy (injecting the drug directly into the tumor). Recent advances in preparing the drug solution, so that it remains localized in the tumor, have renewed the interest in intralesional chemotherapy, and preliminary results have been radiotherapy methods: several clinical trials have been conducted to test the effectiveness of new radiation regimens delivering twice-a-day irradiation in the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer. Recent research suggests that amifostine can help reduce this side effect by limiting radiation damage to salivary glands. However, vaccines are being studied as a way to treat people with cancer by helping their immune to recognize and attack the cancer cells. Since some oral and oropharyngeal cancers contain dna from human papillomaviruses, vaccines against these viruses are being studied as a treatment for these therapy: new discoveries about how changes in the dna of cells in the oral cavity and oropharynx cause these cells to become cancerous are being applied to experimental treatments intended to reverse these changes. For example, clinical trials are testing whether it is possible to replace abnormal tumor suppressor genes (such as the p53 gene) of oral cancer cells with a normal copy, to restore normal growth control. Another type of gene therapy adds new genes to the cancer cells to make them more susceptible to being killed by certain and oropharyngeal cancer can start in the lips, gums or soft sides of your mouth.

Cancer can affect the cheeks, tongue, mouth and/or risk factors include smoking, chewing tobacco or betel quid, consuming alcohol and being infected with human papillomavirus (hpv). Unfortunately, however, the majority of oral cancers are not diagnosed until the disease has igating the link between oral cancer and marijuana use – contrary to previous research findings, marijuana use does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of developing oral cancer, according to a multi-institution study led by dr. Stephen schwartz, chu chen and eduardo mendez are working to gain a better understanding of how genetic, virologic and lifestyle characteristics work together to affect oral cancer risk and prognosis. They have found a connection between oral cancer risk and the presence of both human papillomavirus (hpv) and herpes simplex virus 1 (hsv1) in the investigators are also studying how a patient's environment might affect their oral cancer ent & ting aggressive cancer – dr. Chu chen and colleagues are pinpointing the genetic changes associated with oral cancer risk and progression. Identifying these genetic patterns could help predict the aggressiveness of a patient’s cancer and ultimately help doctors decide whether surgery, which can cause facial disfiguring and psychological stress, is appropriate. Chen and colleagues have, for the first time, identified a four-gene set that signals when oral cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck. Mendez is also researching innovative ways to block the same set of genes and limit cancer cell ing treatment – dr.
