With our progressing knowledge in molecular biology and the increasing understanding of the various signaling pathways there is no question of doubt that in the near future the prognosis for OSCC would be considerably improved. As with any other disease, prevention is better than cure. Avoiding the well-known risk factors, a well-balanced nutritional plan and regular dental health checkups are the most effective means of preventing Oral cancers.

Dental Human papillomavirus (HPV) is increasingly being recognized as a province of general oral hygiene, making dentists and dental hygienists responsible for recognizing warning signs. HPV is a risk factor for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, a form of oral cancer. It may also be a risk factor in other oropharynx diseases, including cancers of the tonsil and tongue (American Dental Association, 2013). As many as 63% of oral cancers diagnosed have
Conclusion Despite the depressing figures embodied in the quote introducing this thesis, that: "The overall cure rate for AML…is between 40 and 45%" (Belson, Kingsley, and Holmes, para. 6), data/information related during the next chapter, the Literature Review, will contain a semblance of hope. Hope for the potential development of significant improvement of therapies for AML, the researcher projects, albeit, depends on continuing studies such as the three noted in/by this
Lifestyle Factors Inducing Cancers Course code Cancer is one of the leading international causes of morbidity and mortality. Lifestyle factors that contribute to causing cancer have been widely studied in recent years. Summarizing relevant studies, lifestyle factors identified include smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, weight management, physical activity, and environmental exposure. These studies use a variety of methodologies to determine the link between the lifestyle factor and risk of cancer. Issues with the
Data Science Applications and ProcessesIn nursing, big data refers to the large amount of patient care and health data. Nurses can use data analysis to determine the best and most efficient treatment methods. Big data will allow you to analyze gazillions of data elements, which is beneficial for evidence-based best practices for nursing. Using big data, nurses can streamline their workflows by analyzing the data to determine the best way
No medical treatment exists for treating HPV infection other than prevention through education about the dangers of multiple sexual partners and unprotected sex, because HPV infection is transmitted through sexual contact with an infected individual. A vaccine is available, but both its high cost and several elements associated with its rushed approval by the FDA in 2006 suggest that further study is warranted before its wide-scale use, particularly on a mandatory
