Overview
Common causes of oral cancers include premalignant lesions, tobacco, alcohol, human papillomavirus, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Tobacco use is the cause of 75% oral cancer cases . It causes an irritation of mucous membrane in the mouth. HPV type 16 is the most common sub-type of human papilloma virus associated with oral cancer.
Causes
Common causes of oral cancer include:
- Pre-malignant lesion[1]
- Benign and morphologically-altered tissue
- Pre-malignant lesions are of various types:
- Leukoplakia - benign white patches
- Erythroplakia - red patches
- Erythroleukoplakia - mixed red and white patches
- Lichen planus
- Oral sub-mucous fibrosis - very common in Indian sub-continents
- actinic cheilitis
- Tobacco
- 75% cases of oral cancers occur due to tobacco use.
- Use of it causes irritation of the mucous membrane in the mouth.
- Both smoking and chewing tobacco can lead to irritation of mucous membrane of the mouth.
- 60 types of carcinogens are known to be present in tobacco smoke.
- If any form of tobacco use is combined with heavy alcohol intake, the carcinogenic potential increases.
- Alcohol[2]
- Heavy alcohol intake can lead to cancer of pharynx and larynx.
- Carcinogenic potential increases when combined with tobacco use.
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- This causes an increased risk for squamous cell carcinoma.
