Oral Cancer

Dr.Mohammed Alaraji
Definition:it is abnormal mass or tissue ,its growth with
extension & its uncoordinated with that of normal tissue. The
growth is excessive ,progressive
▪INCIDENCE

OSCC is among the 10 most common cancers worldwide:


around 300 000 new cases worldwide annually, amounting to
around 3% of total cancers.
Genetic bases of cancer

▪The regulation of cell cycle is under control of over


40 genes in which proto-oncogen & tumor
suppressor genes, normally the coordinated
expression of these gene leads to equilibrium
between growth promoting gene & growth
restraining gene , the imbalance between these
gene which is caused by proto-oncogen activation
& TSG inactivation will lead to tumor initiation.
Etiology
▪Tobacco smoking & Smokeless tobacco use
▪. Betel quid
▪Alcohol
▪Chronic irritation
▪Phenolic agents
▪Radiation
▪Iron deficiency
▪Vitamin A deficiency
▪. Syphilis (tertiary stage):
▪. Candidal infection
▪Oncogenic viruses
Site distribution
▪1-Tongue - 35% (31% lateral border, 2% tip and 2%
dorsum).
▪2- Floor of mouth 30% (25% anterior and 5%
posterior).
▪3- Lower alveolus → 15%.
▪4- Buccal mucosa 10%.
▪5- Upper alveolus +5%.
▪6-Hard palate + 3%.
▪7- Retromolar region 2%.
Clinical presentation
▪1-Exophytic
mass forming lesion which typically has a surface
that is irregular, fungating, papillary, or verruciform,
and its color may vary from normal to red to white,
▪2-Endophytic
depressed, irregularly shaped, ulcerated, central
area with a surrounding rolled border of normal, red
or white mucosa
▪Leukoplakic, Erythroplakic
Symptoms
▪Lesions in the floor of mouth or tongue may be painful
indurated, Rolled ulcer margins.
▪complain of difficulty in swallowing or speaking

▪pain while chewing, intermittent bleeding, loose teeth


or ill-fitting dentures in gingival or alveolar ridge
lesions.
▪altered sensation or anesthesia of the lower lip may
signify locally advanced disease
▪Palpable lymph node in neck

▪Non-healing tooth socket


Clinical examination
▪During examination the following points should b considered:
▪# Tumor's location,
▪# Fixation to the mandible.
▪# Proximity to the midline
▪#Trismus or decreased tongue mobility.
▪#Cranial nerve deficits.
▪#The status of the dentition.
▪# Biopsy of the primary tumor is required for histologic
diagnosis and treatment planning.
▪# Lymph nodes in the neck
Clinical staging
▪TNM system
▪T= Tumor size.
▪N=Nodal status in the cervical region.
▪M=Metastatic disease beyond the cervical lymph nodes.
▪Definition of Primary Tumor (T)
▪T1 Tumor size between 1-2 cm
▪T2 Tumor size between 2 & less than 4 cm
▪T3 Tumor>4 cm
▪T4 advanced local disease
▪Definition of Regional Lymph Node (N)
▪NO No regional lymph node metastasis
▪N1 Metastasis in a single ipsilateral lymph node,
▪N2a Metastasis in a multiple ipsilateral nodes
▪N2b , Metastasis in bilateral or contralateral lymph nodes
▪N3 when the tumor involved the LN & its fixed to underlying
structure
▪Definition of distant metastasis (M)

▪MO no Distant metastasis


▪M1 distant metastasis
▪Classification according to the stages:

▪Stage I T1 NO M0
▪Stage II T2 N0 M0
▪Stage III T3 N1 M0

▪Stage IV any T any N M1


Grading
▪Histopathologic grading of SCC is based upon the
degree of differentiation and resemblance to normal
squamous epithelium and the amount of keratin
production
▪Grade 1 (well differentiated) is a low-grade tumor

▪Grade 2 (moderately differentiated)

▪Grade 3 (poorly differentiated) high grade tumor


Imaging assessment

Pretreatment imaging is important to evaluate:


▪#The tumor size and extent.

▪#Involvement of adjacent anatomic structures.

▪# Staging the cervical lymph nodes.

▪#Tumor invasion for the bone especially the


mandible.
The modalities used include:

▪Conventional Radiographs

▪Computed Tomography

▪Magnetic Resonance Imaging

▪Ultrasound

▪Positron Emission Tomography (PET)


Treatment
▪The main modalities of treatment are surgery,
radiotherapy& CHEMOTHERAPY
other( like ,Immnotherpy)
Mid face degloving
mandiblotomy Lip spliting
Management of the Neck

▪The status of the cervical lymph nodes is the most


important prognostic factor in SCC of the head and
neck. The overall survival rate decreases by
approximately 50% in patients with metastases to
the cervical lymph nodes.
Anatomy and biology of lymphatic metastasis
▪Level I, submental and submandibular group; Level II, upper
jugular group; Level III, middle jugular group; Level IV, lower
jugular group; Level V, posterior triangle group Level VI,
anterior compartment.
Classification of Neck Dissection
▪ Radical Neck Dissection (RND
en bloc removal of all ipsilateral lymph nodes from levels I through V,
along with the Ipsilateral spinal accessory nerve (SAN), internal jugular
vein (IJV), and sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM).
▪ Modified Radical Neck Dissection (MRND) When one or more
nonlymphatic structures are preserved during the dissection.
▪ Selective Neck Dissection (SND
one or more lymph node groups are preserved during cervical
lymphadenectomy that are routinely removed with RND.
▪ Extended Neck Dissection
one or more lymph node groups or non-lymphatic structures, or both,
that are not usually involved in RND are removed.
Neck access
Apron flap incision
Radiotherapy
▪It uses ionizing radiation; it is locoregional treatment and
should be considered as complementary to surgery rather
than competitive.
▪Types of radiotherapy
▪1. External beam radiotherapy (Teletherapy).
a beam of radiation is directed toward the tumor bearing part of
the patient who is a distance away. It uses photons (like X-rays
or Gamma rays)
▪2. Brachytherapy.
radioactive sources are brought close to the tumor mass (or
even implanted within it) to deliver a highly localized radiation
dose, it uses radioactive isotopes e.g., Radium, Iridium or
Radon
▪3. Unsealed radionuclide radiotherapy.
Chemotherapy
▪chemotherapy is used in combination with radiotherapy
and/or surgery in radical treatment or alone in palliative
treatment.

▪Classes of chemotherapeutic agents


▪1-Antimetabolites; this group predominantly interferes with
synthesis and metabolism of DNA like methotrexate, 5-
fluorouracil (5-FU)

▪DNA damaging agents


A-Alkylating agents like cyclophosphamide
B-Antibiotics like bleomycin

▪Mitosis inhibitors like vincristine


▪Cancer cell enzyme inactivator,
Scheduling of Chemotherapy
▪•Before radiotherapy (Neoadjuvant or Induction).

▪• During radiotherapy (Synchronous or


Concomitant).
▪• After radiotherapy (Adjuvant or Subsequent
