Introduction
• The 6th most common malignancy within the EC ailthough the 3rd in men (4th in women) of developing countries
• The most common malignant tumour in south east asia.
• 40% of all malignancies in parts of India
• Commoner in males

Introduction
• The prognosis for cure improves the earlier the diagnosis is made and appropriate treatment started
• treatment for a small early lesion is likely to be less mutilating and have a lower morbidity than treatment for a large advanced lesion
![Page 5: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Introduction
•Unlike many malignant lesions occurring elsewhere in the body oral scc can be readily observed in its‘ early stages. There are few places in the oral cavity that a lesion can genuinely progress unnoticed by patient and clinician.
![Page 6: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Introduction
•The fact that so many patients still continue to present late with advanced disease is a sad indictment of the state of medical and dental care in Jordan and even the UK
![Page 7: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Epidemiology
Squamous cell carcinoma (scc) accounts for about 90% of all oral malignancy the remainder include salivary gland neoplasms, lymphomas and sarcomas.
![Page 8: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Epidemiology
The rate of new oral cancers would appear to be falling from its' peak in 1920 to the present levels. However, there is disturbing evidence that cancers of all types including oral cancer are on the increase.
![Page 9: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Epidemiology
• there is a strong clinical impression as yet unsubstantiated that we are seeing a rise in incidence of aggressive oral scc in young patients with no accepted risk factors
![Page 10: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Aetiology
• Actinic Radiation• Epithelial atrophy• Viruses• Immunosuppressio
n• Candida infection
• Smoking• Chewing habits• Alcohol• Poor diet• Industrial hazards• Dental factors
![Page 11: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Aetiology
• Smoking:Cigar and pipe smoking Vs cigarette smokingReverse smoking
• Chewing habits:Pan chewing → Leukoplakia → SCC
• Alcohol:Unclear mechanismType and quality more important than quantity
![Page 12: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Aetiology
Smoking and Alcohol synergism• Smoking alone: 9 times greater risk• Alcohol alone: 8 times greater risk• Smoking and alcohol consumption:
9+8=40!!
![Page 13: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Aetiology
• Industrial hazards:Higher incidence in textile workers
• Dental factors• Actinic Radiation:
SCC more common in lower lip than upper lipLip cancer is rare in dark-skinned people
• Epithelial atrophy:May enhance the absorption of carcinogens
![Page 14: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Aetiology
• Viruses:HSV-2 implicated in carcinoma of uterine cervix
• Immunosuppression:Increased incidence of certain cancers in patients with renal transplants or HIV
• Candidal infection:Chronic hyperplastic candidosis is premalignant
![Page 15: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Early lesions are usually asymptomatic
• May present as:a white patch
a red patchan ulceran exophytic growth
![Page 22: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

• Pain may be a late feature• Advanced lesions have a very variable
presentation• Bone destruction may be evident on
radiographs• Teeth may become mobile• There may be altered sensation
![Page 23: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Role of the medics
• Patient education• Elimination of risk factors• Thorough examination• Be safe.. refer if in doubt
![Page 24: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pre-malignant conditions
![Page 25: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Leukoplakia
• Idiopathic white patch that cannot be wiped off the mucosa
• Up to 4% risk of malignant change in 5 years• Very variable clinical presentation
(homogeneous, speckled, verrucous, nodular,..etc)
• Management include biopsy, conservative treatment, excision, and laser ablation
![Page 26: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Erythroplasia (erythroplakia)
• Red velvety pathches• Idiopathic• Very high risk of
malignant change• 70% are carcinomas
in situ on first biopsy• Same management as leukoplakias
![Page 27: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Candidal leukoplakia
• Rough adherent white plaque
• Typical site is buccalmucosa behind the commissures
• Variable risk of malignant change• Management is with vigorous
systemic antifungals
![Page 28: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Lichen planus
• Chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease
• Unclear pathogenesis• Two distinctive clinical types (non-
erosive and erosive)
• Usually bilateral distribution• Only erosive type is premalignant• Management includes biopsy and
steroids
![Page 29: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

liver mets.
![Page 32: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Treatment
• CURATIVE
• LOCAL DISEASE CONTROL
• PALIATIVE ONLY
![Page 33: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Team Approach
• Maxillofacial Surgeon• Plastic/Neuro surgery• Chemotherapist• Radiotherapist• Nutritionist• Speech therapist• Dentist• Maxillofacial prosthodontist
![Page 34: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Treatment
Treatment modalities:• Surgical excision• Radiotherapy• Chemotherapy??• Surgery and radiotherapy
![Page 35: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Surgery
• Excision of the tumour with a safety margin
• 1-2cm 3D margin for SCC• Intra-bony lesions require bigger
margin• Partial mandibulectomy or
maxillectomy with soft tissue and L.Ns
![Page 36: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Management of the neck
• Neck divides into seven levels• Only levels I to V need
consideration
![Page 37: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Management of the neck
• Therapeutic neck dissection: When disease is obviously present in the neck and the dissection is undertaken to ablate the disease
• Elective neck dissection; No obvious clinical disease in the neck but a high chance of occult disease or neck opened for access
![Page 38: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Management of the neck
• Many confusing terms for dissection in use: ‘Functional’, ‘Supra-omohyoid’, ‘Lateral’, ‘Radical’, ‘Extended radical’ and ‘Modified radical’
![Page 39: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Management of the neck
Two simpler terms:
• Comprehensive neck dissection, if all 5 levels are removed
• Selective neck dissection, anything less 5 levels
![Page 40: help.dotssol.com/shifa/Surgery/Slides/Orophyngeal%](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b60b834a795923478b45ae/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Management of the neck
Controversy regarding the (No) neck
