Description |
Cancers of the oral cavity are increasing at an alarming rate and have been reported to account for approximately 220 000 new cases each year for men (5% of all cancers) and about 90 000 for women (2% of all cancers).1 Two third of these cases are recorded in developing countries. A high incidence of oral cancer is seen in the Indian subcontinent as a result of the late diagnosis of potential precancerous lesions and conditions. Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is an insidious chronic progressive precancerous condition of the oral cavity and oropharynx with a high degree of malignant potential.2 A large proportion of these precancerous lesions convert to squamous cell carcinoma, the malignant transformation rate being in the order of 7.6%.2 OSF is prevalent in the Indian subcontinent in all age groups and across all socioeconomic strata, but the incidence exhibits regional and interregional variations (0.2–4.57%), being highest in Southern India.2 This disease is now a public health issue in many parts of the world including the UK,3 South Africa,4 and many southeast Asian countries.5 6 |
