Oral cancer accounts for the majority of the cancer in South East Asian region and especially in the Indian subcontinent. If diagnosed at an early stage the disease is reported to have a better prognosis. Sialochemistry involving antioxidants has recently gained importance for oral cancer risk assessment because of its non-invasive nature. The aim of this study was to estimate the levels of glu...
Oral cancer accounts for the majority of the cancer in South East Asian region and especially in the Indian subcontinent. If diagnosed at an early stage the disease is reported to have a better prognosis. Recently studies have been conducted to determine the levels of serum antioxidants for risk assessment of oral cancer. The aim of this study was to estimate the levels of glutathione in serum ...
Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare form of oral leukoplakia, which was first described in 1985 by Hansen et al. Since then, various published case series have presented PVL as a disease with aggressive biological behaviour due to its high probability of recurrence and a high rate of malignant transformation, usually higher than 70%. PVL is a long-term progressive condition, whi...
Present study was undertaken to estimate and compare erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (E-SOD) and Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels in oral submucous fibrosis, oral leukoplakia and oral cancer patients and age/sex matched healthy subjects, 25 in each group. Statistically significant (P<0.001) decrease in E-SOD and GPx levels were observed in OSF, oral leukoplakia and oral cancer groups as com...
Background: Nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) are associated with proliferative activity and represents as a diagnostic aid in several neoplastic entities. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the AgNOR (Silver binding nucleolar organizing region) count in healthy oral mucosa, oral leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: The biopsied tissue s...
Leukoplakia is a nondetachable, potentially malignant, white lesion that is commonly found in smokers of advanced age. Leukoplakia occurs more frequently in men; however, there is a higher index of dysplastic changes and malignant transformation in women. The proposed treatments for this disease range from monitoring to surgical excision. Cryosurgery has been reported as an alternative to conve...
Context: Leukoplakia represents the most common premalignant oral mucosal lesion. Candida albicans is frequently found in histologic sections of leukoplakia. Some Candida strains may have the potential to promote the development of oral cancer. Aim: The present study was undertaken to assess the role of Candida infection in different stages of leukoplakia and in different grades of dysplasia th...
Oral leukoplakia is a potentially malignant lesion of the oral cavity, for which no effective treatment is available. We investigated the effectiveness of curcumin, a potent inhibitor of NF-κB/COX-2, molecules perturbed in oral carcinogenesis, to treat leukoplakia. Subjects with oral leukoplakia (n = 223) were randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive orally, either 3.6 g/day of curcumin (n = 111) or p...
Extensive research within the past half-century has indicated that curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a yellow pigment in curry powder, exhibits anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-apoptotic activities. We investigated whether the anti-pre-cancer activities assigned to curcumin are mediated through an anti-oxidant and DNA-protecting mechanism. Patients with oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibr...
932 CMAJ, May 17, 2011, 183(8) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors A29-year-old man presented with nonpainful white lesions on his tongue that he had recently noticed while brushing his teeth. Testing for oral candidal infection by his general practitioner was negative. The patient was feeling otherwise healthy and had no further complaints. Clinical examination showed bilatera...
