Evaluation & Treatment of the Dental patient for Cancerous & PrecancerousLesions
Mac Whitesides DMD, MMSc. Atlanta, GA [email protected]
Oral SCCAUSA
•3 % of all cancers•43,000 new cases •8,260 deaths•6th most common malignancy
Georgia•680 new cases•190 deaths
*usually detected early*usually detected by dental professionals
Oral Precancerous Lesions
1. Leukoplakia: white plaque that can not be described otherwise
ETI: tob, trauma, tertiary syphlitic glossitis CLINCAL: most common oral precancer (85%)
*5th to 6th decade*M>>F * lip vermillion > BM >Mn. Gingvia >
tongue > oral floor > HP > SP* more common & more likely to undergo malignant transformation in males > 40 yrs* Early, Moderate, Severe
Oral Precancerous Lesions Leukoplakia TX: remove any etiologic agent
observe for two weeksbiopsy if suspicious
PROG:SCCA much more common in pts with Leukoplakia vs. without•90-95% benign•if have dysplasia or CA in situ also,then more likely to become malignant
Oral Precancerous Lesions
2. Erythroplakia: red plaque that can not be described otherwise*FOM > SP > RTMP > tongue
*less common than Leukoplakia, but more likely to be malignant
Oral SCCA
Presentation:irregular, indurated, painful, painless, erythroplakia-like;leukoplakia-like, ulcerative, exophytic, or benignAge: 5th to 9th decadeGrades: CA in situ, mild, moderate, severe dysplasiaLocation: Tongue > FOM > Buccal Mucosa >
Alveolar Mucosa > Palate
Risk Factors
•TOB•ETOH •age•family Hx •previous Hx of oral SCCA
•race•syphilis•poor oral hygiene•Betel Nut
Oral SCCA
It is evident therefore that no man shouldventure upon snuff who is not sure thathe is not so far liable to a cancer: and no man can be sure of that.
John Hill 1761
40 yo w male: SCCA
40 yo w male: SCCA 1 wk post Bx
68 yo male: SCCA
Verrucous Carcinoma • an exophytic, well-differentiated form of SCCA ETI:TOB, Trauma, Viral CLINICAL:7% of all SCCA
7th to 8th decades, M> FBM> Gingiva> other sites
TX: Surgical removal PROGNOSIS: 75% five year survival rate

StagingT = Primary Tumor SizeN = Node InvolvementM = Metastasis
Prognosis•State at Diagnosis•Location of Primary Tumor•Metastasis
SCCA
•effective in treating T1 or T2 lesions•delivered in divided doses to maximize effect on tumor & minimize effect on normal tissue•delivered in 1.8 to 2.0 Gy per day, max at 5000 to 6000 GyHyperfractionation: deliver < 2.0 Gy BID
advantage: net 10 to 15 % increase in dose, with less effect on normal tissue
Acceleration: 2.0 Gy BIDadvantage: counteracts tumor cell re-population
Side Effects: Xerostomia, Tissue Fibrosis, Caries,Osteomyelitis
Radiation
Chemotherapy
•Treats macroscopic, microscopic,and metastatic disease
•Used with XRT, SurgeryTherapy: Combination, Neoadjuvant, Adjuvant, PalliativeAgents: Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Fluoroucil, MethotrexateSide Effects: Xerostomia, Caries, Infections, Alopecia, Bone marrow toxicity, Nausea,
Vomiting, Mucosal toxicity
SurgeryPrimary Site•1 cm margin of non diseased tissue•Defect: local, rotational, free flaps, distraction osteogenesis•Post op: Chemo/XRT ???
Regional•SCCA has invaded neck•Primary resection & neck dissection
(radical vs modified radical)•Post op: Chemo/ XRT ???
Antioxidants
•Naturally occurring substances that interact with free radicals to decreases cellular damage•Retinoids, beta-carotene, ascorbic acid,
alpha-tocopherol•Clinical trials have not clearly proven their efficacy
Lichen Planus
1. Reticular : usually asymptomatic, typically bilateral irregularly shaped white plaques ( Wickham’s straie )on BM ( location may change with time )
2. Erosive : painful & debilitating, may involve entire oral cavity atrophic & ulcerated patches with white halo
• most common dermatologic disease to affect oral cavity• W > M ; middle age adults
ETI : unknown , ? Immune systemCLINICAL :
Tx : flucinonide ointment & Orabaseclobetasol & OrabaseSteroids, Cyclosporine, Retinoids, Aloe
PROGNOSIS; good, 1 to 5 % SCCA
Audit of Clinical Information & Diagnosis Supplied to Pathologist following Bx of SCCA

Objective :Attempt to compare & correlate cases that have the histopathologic diagnosis of oral SCCA with the data submitted by the clinicianto the oral pathologist
