This study shows that in Myanmar, South-East Asia, the prevalence of oral cancers is a serious fact as they rank fifth among all cancers being known there. On the 70 oral cancer cases reported at the Institute of Dental Medicine, Yangon, the findings stressed that most patients, male or female, came from the metropolitan division (Yangon), had smoking and chewing habits. Also most of these patients came to hospital only at the severe and late stage. It confirms us in our opinion that early diagnosis and prompt treatment are a necessity.
这项研究表明，在东南亚的缅甸，口腔癌的患病率是一个严峻的事实，因为在该国已知的所有癌症中，口腔癌位居第五。在仰光牙科学院报告的70例口腔癌病例中，研究结果强调，大多数患者，无论男女，都来自首都行政区（仰光），有吸烟和咀嚼习惯。而且这些患者大多在病情严重和晚期才来医院就诊。这证实了我们的观点，即早期诊断和及时治疗是必要的。
