Oral cavity cancer is cancer originating from both
epithelial mucosa or salivary glands in the walls of the oral cavity and organs in the mouth. Oral cavity cancer is more prevalent in males than females with a ratio of 3/2 - 2/1. It mostly occurs in the age above 40 years (70%) and it spread all over the world. The highest incidence are in France and India, while the lowest is in Japan. The etiology of oral cavity cancer is exposure to carcinogens, which are widely found in cigarettes or tobacco. High risk of oral cavity cancer gets there in the smoker, nginang / fringe, alcohol, dental caries, poor oral hygiene Goal 1. To know the definition of carcinoma of the oral cavity 2. Can explain the pathophysiology of carcinoma of the oral cavity 3. To determine the risk factors for oral squamous 4. To find a variety of carcinomas of the oral cavity 5. To determine the clinical symptoms of oral carcinoma 6. To find out how to diagnose carcinoma of the oral cavity 7. To determine the treatment of carcinoma of the oral cavity
Oral Cavity Carcinoma A. Definition Oral cavity cancer is cancer originating from both epithelial mucosa or salivary glands in the walls of the oral cavity and organs in the mouth The boundaries of the oral cavity is: Front : the edge of the upper lip vermilion and lower lip Above: the hard palate and molle Lateral: right and left buccal Bottom: floor of the mouth and tongue Rear: left and right anterior arch pharyngeus and uvula, left and right arch glossopalatinus, the lateral edge of the tongue, the tongue circumvallate papillae B. Pathophysiology DNA is a chemical in every cell of the body that will form the gene, showed that the cells in the body to function properly. Some genes have instructions for controlling when cells grow and divide. Genes that stimulate cell division are called oncogenes. Genes that slow down cell division or cause cells to die at the right time are called tumor suppressor genes. When tobacco and alcohol damage the cells that line the mouth and throat, the cells should grow more rapidly to repair this damage. In this case there is an opportunity to make a mistake when copying a gene so that DNA into cancer cells. Many of the chemicals found in tobacco can damage DNA directly. This damage can lead to oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes were damaged, DNA changes that activate oncogenes or deactivate tumor gensupresor produce abnormal cells to form tumors. With the additional damage, Human Papilloma Virus infection, causing the cells to make 2 protein, the E6 and E7. This protein kills several genes that keep cell growth under control, so that the cell growth becomes uncontrolled and become cancerous. HPV DNA was found in the tumor cells, especially in cells of patients with non- smokers who drank little or no alcohol consumption alcohol. HPV is estimated to be the likely cause of cancer
C. Risk factor Smoke Consumption of alcohol Infection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Sex Age Ultraviolet (UV) Malnutrition Weak Immune System Genetic
D. Clinical diagnosis Anamnesis. Patient complaints, grievances previous dental, general medical history past and present, lifestyle habits, family history, socioeconomic status and occupation. While doing anamnesis physician can also see the state of the patient oral extras, such as lip and facial asymmetry. Clinical examination 1. Change the color, whether oral mucosal abnormal color, such as white, red or black. 2. Consistency, whether hard tissue, chewy, soft, fIuktuan or nodular. 3. Contour, whether mucosal surface rough, ulceration, asymmetry or swelling. 4. Temperature. 5. Function, whether the patient can open the mouth perfectly. 6. Lymphnode cervical
Characteristic Generally, early stage oral cancer does not cause symptoms, less than 2 cm in diameter, mostly red with or without white components, slick, smooth and showed minimal elevation. Often beginning of malignancy characterized by the presence of ulcers. If there are ulcers that do not heal within 2 weeks, then the situation can already be suspected as early in the process of malignancy. Other signs of malignancy include ulcers process painless ulcer, rolled edge, higher than the surrounding area and induration (harder), can essentially bumps and peeling. Growth carcinoma ulcer forms are referred to as growth endofitik. Besides oral carcinoma is also seen as a growth eksofitik (superficial lesions) that can be shaped or papillary cauliflower, bleeds easily. Eksofitik lesions are more easily recognized its existence and has a better prognosis. E. Histopathology classification Type of histology
The majority ( 90%) cancers originate from the mucosa of the oral cavity in the form of epidermoid carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma with well differentiation, but can also moderate, bad or anaplastic. When the pathological picture showed a rhabdomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant or malignant tumors fibrohistiocytoma other soft tissue, should be carefully examined whether the tumor was actually a malignant tumor of the oral cavity (C00-C06) or a malignant tumor of the soft tissues of the cheek, skin or bone invasion held into the oral cavity.

bimanual palpation Abnormalities in the oral cavity checked by inspection and palpation with the help spatel tongue and illumination using a flashlight or head lamp. The entire oral cavity seen, from the lips to the posterior oropharynx. Palpability of lesions of the oral cavity is done by inserting one or two fingers into the mouth. To determine which lesions are performed by touching bimanuil. One or two fingers left or right hand is inserted into the cavity of the mouth and the fingers of his other hand fingered lesions outside the mouth. For the inspection of the tongue and oropharynx can the tip of the tongue that has been wrapped with a 2x2 inch gauze is held with the examiner's left hand and pulled out the mouth and directed right and left to see the surface of the dorsal, ventral and lateral tongue, floor of the mouth and oropharynx. Inspections can be better when using the help of a mirror examiner. Determine where the primary tumor site, how it would look, how much in cm, how much infiltration, how operabilitasnya. regional status Palpation is there any enlargement of cervical lymph nodes ipsilateral and contralateral neck. If there is enlargement specify the location, number, size (the largest), and mobility. Radiography Examination a. X-plain X-mandibular photo AP, lateral, Eisler, panoramic, occlusal, mandibular gingiva done on the tumor or tumors attached to the mandible Lateral head X-photo, Waters, occlusal, gingival done on the tumor, maxillary or maxillary tumor attached to X-Hap photo done on the hard palate tumor X-thorax photo, for the presence of pulmonary metastases B. Imaging (made only on indication) Liver ultrasound to look at the liver metastases CT-scan or MRI to assess tumor extension vast lokoregional A bone scan, if suspected metastasis to bone
Laboratory Routine laboratory examinations, such as blood, urine, SGOT / SGPT, alkaline phosphatase, BUN / creatinine, albumin, globulin, serum electrolytes, physiological hemostasis, to assess the general condition and preparation of the operation.
Pathology examination All patients with oral cancer or suspected cancer of the oral cavity should be carefully examined pathologically. Specimens taken from tumor biopsies Fine-needle biopsy (FNA) for cytological examination can be performed on the primary tumor or metastatic cervical lymph nodes. excision biopsy : when small tumors, excision of 1 cm or less extensive excision is undertaken as definitive surgery (1 cm from the edge of the tumor) Biopsy cakot incision or biopsy (punch biopsy) using alligator forceps: if the tumor is large or inoperable What should be examined is in preparation histopathologic type, differentiation and extensive invasion of the tumor. large tumors predicted operabel: A biopsy should be performed under general anesthesia and can be done at the same time bimanuil exploration to determine the extent of tumor infiltration (staging) the expected large inoperable tumor: A biopsy is done with local anesthetic block in normal tissue around the tumor. (Anesthetic infiltration of the tumor should not be done to prevent the spread of cancer cells). H.

I. TREATMENT PROCEDURES Oral cavity cancer treatment should be multidisciplinary involving several specialist areas, namely : Oncologic Surgeon Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Radiation oncologist Medical oncologist Dentists Rehabilitation specialists Some things to consider in the treatment of oral cancer is the eradication of the tumor, restoring the function of the oral cavity, as well as the cosmetic aspect or appearance of the patient. Some factors to consider in determining the kinds of therapy are: Age of the patient The general state of the patient Facilities available Ability doctor The choice of the patient. For small lesions (T1 and T2), surgery or radiotherapy alone can provide a high cure rate, with a note that radiotherapy alone on T2 gives a higher recurrence rate than surgery. For T3 and T4, the combination of surgery and radiotherapy treatment gives the best results. Giving neo-adjuvant radiotherapy and or chemotherapy prior to surgery may be given to the cavity cancer locally advanced (T3, T4). Radiotherapy can be given as interstitial or external tumors eksofitik with small size will be more successful than endofitik tumors with large size. The role of chemotherapy in the treatment of oral cancer is still not much in the research phase of chemotherapy is only used as neo-adjuvant pre-operative or post-operative adjuvant for sterilization possibility of micro-metastasis.

While N1 obtained at each T to do deseksi radical neck. Where possible, wide excision of the primary tumor and neck deseksi should be done en-block. Giving regional radiotherapy after surgery depends on the results of pathological lymph node metastases (the number of positive lymph node metastasis, lymph node capsule penetration / extra lymph nodes). 1. Curative Therapy Curative treatment for cancer of the oral cavity is given in oral cavity cancer stage I, II, and III. a. The main therapy Primary therapy for stage I and II is that surgery or radiotherapy, each of which has advantages and disadvantages of each. Whereas for stage III and IV are still operabel is a combination of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy . In curative therapy should be considered: According to proper procedure, because if one of the results are not to be curative. Function mouth to speak, eat, drink, swallow, breathe, stay well. Cosmetic quite acceptable Operation Indication of operation: Case operabel Age is relatively young The general state of good There is no co-morbidity of severe
The basic principle of operation of oral cancer are: The opening should be large enough to be able to see the entire tumor with extension The basic principle of operation of oral cancer are: Exploration of tumor: to determine the extent of tumor extension Wide excision of tumor The tumor does not invade the bone, 1-2 cm wide excision of tumor beyond Invaded bones, wide excision with resection of the invaded bone regional nodes dissection (RND = Radical Neck Disection or modification), if there are regional nodes metastasis. Enblok dissection is done with the primary tumor whenever possible. Determine radicalism durante operation of edge incision surgery with frozen cut checks. If you do not create a radical new line of larger incision to free the tumor. Reconstruction of defects that occur. radiotherapy indications of radiotherapy The case of inoperable T1, 2 specific place (see above) Cancer of the tongue Age is relatively old Reject operation There is a severe co-morbidities Radiotherapy can be given by: Teletherapy wear: ortovoltase, Cobalt 60, Linec dose of 5000-7000 rads. Brachytherapy: a booster with intratumoral implantation of radium needles Irridium 192 or 226 at a dose of 2000-3000 rads. b. Additional Therapy Radiotherapy Additional radiotherapy is given in the case of the main therapy surgery. post-surgical radiotherapy Given on T3 and T4a after surgery, the case can not be done radical excision, radikalitasnya doubtful, or the operating field contamination by cancer cells. pre-surgical radiotherapy Pre-surgical radiotherapy is given in cases operabilitasnya doubt or inoperable. Operation Operations Carried out in cases of therapy after primary radiotherapy or radiotherapy to operabel residif arising after radiotherapy. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy given in the case of the operating field contamination by cancer cells, cancer stage III or IV or raised residif after surgery and or radiotherapy.

2. Palliative Therapy Palliative therapy is to improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the grievances especially to people who are no longer curable. Palliative therapy given to patients with oral cavity cancer : Stage IV has demonstrated distant metastases There are severe co-morbidities with a short life expectancy Curative treatment fails Very advanced age Complaints need palliation include: Loko regional ulcers in the mouth / throat Pain It is difficult to eat, drink, swallow Oral smell Anorexia oro-cutaneous fistula Systemic: Pain Shortness of breath It is difficult to talk Cough-cough The agency took care A weak 1) The Main Therapy a) Without distant metastases: Radiotherapy dose 5000-7000 rads. If you need to combine the operations b) There are distant metastases: Chemotherapy Chemotherapy can be used include: epidermoid carcinoma: Drugs that can be used: Cisplatin, Methotrexate, Bleomycin, Cyclophosphamide, Adryamycin, with numbers 20 -40% remission. For example: a single drug: Methotrexate 30 mg/m2 2x a week Drug combinations: V = vincristine: 1.5 mg/m2 hl B = Bleomycin: 12 mg/m2 hl + 12 hours ==> repeated every2-3 weeks M = Methotrexate: 20 mg/m2 h3, 8 adeno carcinoma: Drugs that can be used include: Flourouracil, Mithomycin-C, Ciplatin, Adyamycin, the remission rate 20 30%. For example: single drug: Flourouracil Dose starters: 500 mg/m2 Maintenance dose: 20 mg/m2 every 1-2 weeks
Drug combinations: F = Flourouracil: 500 mg/m2, hl, 8,14,28 A = Adryamycin: 50 mg/m2, hl, 21 ==> repeated every M = Mithomycin-C: 10 mg/m2, h1 6 weeks

5) Secondary Therapy If there is a secondary disease, treatment according to disease concerned.
Tongue Carcinoma Tongue is the sense of taste has a role as an important function of taste in the mouth, and the benefits of allowing one to choose according to his favorite food, and by the need for certain nutrients physiologically, generally tongue has at least four functions of primary taste sour, salty, sweet, and bitter. Nearly 80% of tongue cancer is the 2/3 anterior tongue (usually on the lateral edge and under the tongue) and in small amounts in the posterior tongue. Symptoms depend on the location in patients with cancer. When located at the 2/3 anterior tongue, the main complaint is the emergence of a mass that often feels no pain. When you arise in the 1/3 posterior, the cancer is not always known to the patient and the pain experienced is usually associated with throat pain. Mechanism of carcinoma of the mouth and tongue: Leukoplakia Leukoplakia is pramaligna abnormalities in the oral cavity with a picture of hyperkeratosis. The occurrence of these disorders are affected by chronic stimulation, such as use of tobacco, betel nut, alcohol, or a prosthesis that does not fit. Leukoplakia seen as white patches are slightly thickened and usually do not cause complaints. Leukoplakia is often found in the gums, buccal mucosa and tongue, generally the adult males (Sjamsuhidayat, 2007). The lesion was not painful but sensitive when touched or exposed to spicy foods. If left unchecked, a small part of it will turn out to be malignant in time can not be determined, sometimes for decades. If a lesion is suspected as leukoplakia, it is necessary to scrape smear cytological examination. When the results of cytological examination showed grade I s / d III, repeated cytological examination the next 3 months while eliminating the factors that cause leukoplakia. When the results of cytological examination showed class IV-V, need to do a biopsy with histopathological examination to determine whether malignant change.
Erythroplakia Erythroplakia appears as reddish spots demarcated, soft and thickened. Usually found in men aged 65-74 years, and is often associated with smoking. Erythroplakia generally located bottom mouth, tongue and soft palate. Sometimes erythroplakia located on the edge of leukoplakia. Microscopic erythroplakia can be severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, or invasive squamous cell carcinoma in 90% of patients. Eksisional biopsy needs to be done to find a picture hitopatologisnya. Wide excision performed if the results of histopathologic examination showed malignancy. Erythroplakia often recur, and therefore needs to be monitored for a long time.
LIP CARCINOMA The cause of squamous cell carcinoma that is not known. The cause is suspected carcinogens and related materials predisposisi.4 factors of oral cancer incidence associated with age may reflect a buildup, genetic changes and the length of exposure to initiators and promoters (such as chemical, physical irritants, viruses, and hormonal influences), and cellular aging decline due to aging immunologic. Predisposing factors that can lead to the development of oral cancer include tobacco, alcohol, and other supporting factors such as chronic illness. KSS molecular pathogenesis reflects the accumulation of genetic changes that occur over a period of many years. These changes occur in genes that encode proteins that control the cell cycle, the safety cell, cell motility and angiogenesis dental, nutritional deficiencies, fungal, viral, and environmental factors. Lip cancer is always associated with people who have outside activities such as fishing and farming. Sunlight may be involved in cancer Datogenese lips. Generally more common in the lower lip finger on upper lip.
At the beginning of growth, the lesions may be small module or ulcer that does not heal. Detection of tumors in this situation provides an opportunity to find an early carcinoma. Lesions that can further shape papillari, ulcerative or infiltrative. Type papilomatous can be initiated from a thickened epithelium and most of these remain on the epithelial superficial. Ulcerative lesions and infiltrative initiated from epithelial thickening but subsequently experienced a deeper infiltration. The most important sign is the induration are obtained on the outskirts of the ulcer. Each genetic mutations provide a selective growth advantage, allowing clonal expansion of mutant cells with increased potential for malignancy. Carcinogenesis is a genetic process that leads to changes in cell morphology and behavior. The main genes involved in SCC include the proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes (tumor suppresor genes / TSGs). Another factor that played a role in the progression of the disease include loss of alleles on the other chromosome ratio, mutations in proto-oncogenes and TSG, or epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation or histonin acetylated. Cytokine growth factors, angiogenesis, cell adhesion molecules, immune function and homeostatic regulation in normal cells that surround also play a role. formation of squamous cell carcinoma is malignant due menyirih composition, menyirih frequency, duration menyirih, and use all night. Clinical features of squamous cell carcinoma at an early stage often show no obvious symptoms. No complaints and no pain. Generally the form of leukoplakia, erythroplakia or at an advanced stage of erosion and can be shaped in the form eksofitik papules and nodules, which can be either or endofitik ulcer, erosions, fissures. At the beginning of growth is the most common ulcer. Cancer of the lip has a varied clinical picture of cancer eksofitik large ulcerations that the above process until a mild swelling of the edge of the vermilion, or crusty lesions that are not suspicious.
BSIA MOUTH CANCER Cancer of the floor of the mouth is usually associated with the use of alcohol and tobacco. At the initial stage may not cause symptoms. When lesions develop patient will complain of a lump in the mouth or feeling uncomfortable. Clinically the most common form of ulceration are lesions with a raised edge and hardened located near the lingual frenulum. The other form is a thickening of mucosal redness, nodules that do not hurt or be derived from the leukoplakia. In the advanced stages of cancer can occur eksofitik or infiltrative growth. CHEEK MUCOSA CANCER
In developing countries, cancer of the cheek mucosa associated with the habit of chewing a mixture of areca nut, betel leaf, lime and tobacco. Susur is in contact with the left and right cheek mucosa for several hours. At first the lesions do not cause symptoms, seen as an erythematous area, a small ulceration, induration and red areas are sometimes associated with the type of nodular leukoplakia. With the increasing size of the tumor, trauma will be targeted at chew, so tend to become ulcerated and infiltrative. CANCER IN GINGGIVA
Cancer of the gingiva usually come from areas where the quid of tobacco were placed on the people who have this habit. The area involved is usually more frequent in mandibular gingiva than maxillary gingiva. Early lesions appear as Ulger indolent, small granulomas or as nodules. Overview lesions appear similar to lesions produced by trauma or chronic inflammatory hyperplasia. Lesions were more in the form of growth or growth eksofitik infiltrating deeper. Growth eksofitik like cauliflower, bleeds easily. Infiltrative growth usually grows invasive mandibular bone and cause desdruktif. CANCER IN PALATE In areas where people have the habit of smoking cigarettes in reverse, on the palate cancer is cancer of the oral cavity are common of all oral cancers. Changes that occur in the oral mucosa associated with cigarette smoking in reverse is the ulceration, erosions, nodules and spotting areas. Describing a microinvasive carcinoma to describe an early lesion in the form of a small, oval or round reddish color, the smooth erosion areas surrounding hyperkeratotic lesions usually occur in the glandular zone of the hard palate and asymptomatic. If you are getting pressure to bleed. Most of palate cancer is eksofitik growth and extensive grounds with bernodul surface. If the lesion is growing will probably fill the entire palate. Cancer of the palate can lead to perforation of the palate and extends to the nasal cavity.
