Oral cancer accounts for 2 percent to 4 percent of all cancers diagnosed each year in the United States. In contrast to other cancers, the overall U.S. survival rate from oral cancer has not improved during the past 50 years, mostly due to late-stage diagnosis. Several noninvasive oral cancer detection techniques that emerged in the past decade will be discussed, with a brief overview of most common oral cancer chemopreventive agents.
在美国,口腔癌占每年确诊的所有癌症的2%至4%。与其他癌症不同的是,在过去50年里,美国口腔癌的总体生存率并未提高,这主要是由于晚期诊断所致。本文将讨论过去十年中出现的几种非侵入性口腔癌检测技术,并简要概述最常见的口腔癌化学预防剂。
