A BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:6.1INTRODUCTION:”Prevention is one of the few known ways to reduce demand for health and aged care services” Oral cancer is a subtype of head and neck cancer, is any cancerous tissue growth located in the oral cavity.[1] It may arise as a primary lesion originating in any of the oral tissues, by metastasis from a distant site of origin, or by extension from a neighboring anatomic structure, such as the nasal cavity or the Oral cancers may originate in any of the tissues of the mouth, and may be of varied histologic types: teratoma, adenocarcinoma derived from a major or minor salivary gland, lymphoma from tonsillar or other lymphoid tissue, or melanoma from the pigment-producing cells of the oral mucosa. There are several types of oral cancers, but around 90% are squamous cell carcinomas, originating in the tissues that line the mouth and lips. Oral or mouth cancer most commonly involves the tongue. It may also occur on the floor of the mouth, cheek lining, gingiva (gums), lips, or palate (roof of the mouth). Most oral cancers look very similar under the microscope and are called squamous cell carcinoma. Oral cancer is a heterogeneous group of cancers arising from different parts of the oral cavity, with different predisposing factors, prevalence, and treatment outcomes. It is the sixth most common cancer reported globally with an annual incidence of over 300,000 cases, of which 62% arise in developing countries. There is a significant difference in the incidence of oral cancer in different regions of the world. The ageadjusted rates of oral cancer vary from over 20 per 100,000 population in India, to 10 per 100,000 in the U.S., and less than 2 per 100,000 in the Middle East (1).In comparison with the U.S. population, where oral cavity cancer represents only about 3% of malignancies, it accounts for over 30% of all cancers in India. The variation in incidence and pattern of oral cancer is due to regional differences in the prevalence of risk factors. But as oral cancer has well-defined risk factors, these may be modified – giving real hope for primary prevention. 3 The main symptoms of oral cancer is white and Red Patches in the Mouth or Lips, A Sore or Blister in Your Mouth, Difficulty Swallowing, Earaches: Change in the Way Teeth Fit Together and Bleeding from the Mouth.Oral cancer is part of a group of cancers called head and neck cancers. Oral cancer can develop in any part of the oral cavity or oropharynx. Most oral cancers begin in the tongue and in the floor of the mouth. Almost all oral cancers begin in the flat cells (squamous cells) that cover the surfaces of the mouth, tongue, and lips. These cancers are called squamous cell carcinomas.When oral cancer spreads (metastasizes), it usually travels through the lymphatic system. Cancer cells that enter the lymphatic system are carried along by lymph, a clear, watery fluid. The cancer cells often appear first in nearby lymph nodes in the neck.Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the neck, the lungs, and other parts of the body. When this happens, the new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells as the primary tumor. For example, if oral cancer spreads to the lungs, the cancer cells in the lungs are actually oral cancer cells. The disease is metastatic oral cancer, not lung cancer. It is treated as oral cancer, not lung cancer. Doctors sometimes call the new tumor "distant" or metastatic disease 6.2NEED FOR THE STUDY:Oral cancer appears to be increasing in incidence, and mortality has hardly improved over the past 25 years. Better understanding of the etiopathogenesis should lead to more accurate and earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments with fewer adverse effects. Diagnosis is increasingly aided by detection of cellular and now molecular changes. Treatment is increasingly looking towards chemotherapy and now gene therapy. However, there is no doubt that prevention is the most important aspect, particularly patient education and the reduction of lifestyle risk habits and environmental factors. 4 Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and shows marked geographic variation in occurrence (Warnakulasuriya, 2008). Oral cancer is of paramount importance to Dental professionals and constitutes a major public health problem in India as common cancer site observed by Indian cancer registries (ICMR, 1992). Epidemiological studies have shown that incidence of oral cancer varies significantly in different continents, and also between developed and developing countries, high incidence rates were reported in Asia region (India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Taiwan), parts of Europe (France, Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia), parts of Latin America and the Caribbean (Brazil, Uruguay and Puerto Rico), and in the Pacific region (Melanesia and Papua New Guinea) largely attributed to exposure to specific risk factors for oral cancer (Warnakulasuriya) A study was conducted about tobacco use and awareness among marginalized children by Cancer Patient Aid Association, Mumbai, India. The cross sectional study was the tool of the study. The result of the study showed that the percentage of tobacco users in urban Mumbai was quite low at 4.8% compared with rural Kasara (36%) and Assam (76%); and 74.6% of the children were aware that tobacco use was dangerous and harmful to health. The average age of initiation was 9 years. Out of the 1004 children surveyed, 253 were tobacco users and 79% were males. Of the 1700 children screened, 23.5% presented with precancerous oral lesion. The study conclude that addresses the tobacco habits of a typical sample of marginalized children in India and the need for effective interventions aiming at reducing the burden of tobacco-related cancers by controlling at the point of initiation. A study was conducted to find out the knowledge about oral cancer and effect of an education in Babol. The questionnaire was the study tool.The result of the study showed that community sample of 400 people,76.0% had no knowledge of oral cancer. Mean knowledge score before the education intervention was 1.47 (standard 5 deviation 3.40) out of 10. Knowledge about oral cancer was not associated with age, sex or education level but urban residents had better knowledge than rural residents. Mean knowledge score improved significantly by 5.92 (SD 3.30) at 1 month after the intervention among the 226 respondents who had read the brochure. The researcher felt that since the incidence oral cancer is increasing and interest for prevention and treatment are arises by the early detection of oral cancer in adolescence . The researcher can help the children to cope up with the problems .All these instance prompted the researcher to conduct the study. 6.3. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Review of literature is a systematic identification, location,scrutiny and summary of written material that contains information on research problem . The research reviews are organized under the following headings . 6.3.1 Study related to awareness regarding oral cancer. 6.3.2 Study related to effectiveness of structured teaching programme . 6.3.1 Study related to awareness regarding oral cancer. A study was conducted to find out Factors affecting oral cancer awareness in a highrisk population in India by Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Center, Cochin, India.The questionnaire was the too used in the study.The result of the study showed that out of 1885 persons 86% had heard about oral cancer and 32% knew someone with oral cancer. Sixty-two percent of the subjects correctly identified the causes; this included 77% of the subjects who identifying smoking, 64% alcohol and 79% pan chewing as a cause of oral cancer. More than 42% believed that poor oral health could lead to oral cancer and 53% thought that oral cancer is an incurable disease. 6 Eighty-two percent of the smokers,75% of the tobacco chewers and 66% of those who consumed alcohol were aware that their habits could lead to oral cancer. 6.3.2 Studies related to effectiveness of structured teaching programme. A study was conducted to assess the knowledge of high schoolchildren on oral cancer risk factors in southern Texas by University of Texas Health Sciences Center U S A.The tool of the study was questionnaire. The result of the study showed that the effective response rate was 67%. Ninety-five percent of the students were Hispanic American, 55% had not heard about oral cancer, and 60% failed to identify the most common early signs of oral cancer. Lack of awareness of oral cancer risk factors indicate the need for improved health education directed towards minority population, especially in underprivileged areas. A study was conducted about Tobacco consumption and awareness of their health hazards amongst lower income group school children in National Capital Territory of Delhi by Department of Human Nutrition, All India Institute of Medical Sciences New Delhi. The result of study showed that 9.8%of the study children had at least once experimented with any form of tobacco in their lifetime. The proportion of children who were "current users" of tobacco products was 5.4% (boys: 4.6%, Girls: 0.8%). Nearly eighty percent of the study subjects knew that, tobacco consumption is injurious to health. The parents of 59% of the children discussed the harmful effects of tobacco consumption with their children. A study was conducted to determine the need for health promotion in oral cancer prevention and early detection by National Institute of Dental Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda.The result of the study showed that Overall, the public is ill-informed about risk factors for and signs and symptoms of oral cancers and relatively few US adults have had an oral cancer examination. Further, health care providers are remiss in providing oral cancer examinations and detecting early oral cancers. To achieve the oral cancer objectives contained in "Healthy People 2000," health care providers and the public must know the risk factors for these cancers as well as their signs and 7 symptoms. Further, health care providers need to provide oral cancer examinations routinely and competently. Equally important, the public needs to know that an examination for oral cancer is available and that they can request one routinely. Thus, a vigorous agenda that includes education, policy, and research initiatives is needed to enhance oral cancer prevention and early detection. A study was conducted to understand the picture of premature death from oral cancer, they estimated years of life lost (YLL) and average years of life lost (AYLL) of this cancer for the years 1995 and 2005 in Japan. The result showed that both men and women combined, 4099 and 5679 deaths due to oral cancer were recorded for the years 1995 and 2005. Study showed that cancer of pharynx, tongue, and gum were the most frequent oral cancers in both sexes and responsible for a remarkable number of years of life expectancy lost. Deaths due to those cancer sites occurred about 16-21 years earlier than expected in men, and 14-22 years in women. 6.4.STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:“A STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STRUCTED TEACHING PROGRAMME ON PREVENTION OF ORAL CANCER AMONG THE ADULTS IN THE SELECTED RURAL AREAS AT BANGALORE” . 6.5.OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:1.
