Previous studies on etiology of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue have reported results with respect to long term exposure to cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse. The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for SCC of the tongue in a set of patients with minimum exposure to cigarette smoking and alcohol. Sixty four cases with diagnosis of oral tongue SCC were reviewed in this study. The patients underwent surgical management at the educational and therapeutic centers, Imam and Buali Hospitals (Hamedan, Iran) between the dates of January 1990 and December 2006. Eighty five percent of patients were older than 40 years of age. Most of patients had poor oral hygiene, dental decay and halitosis. It appears that poor oral hygiene and nutritional deficiency can be considered as risk factors for the SCC of the tongue in west of Iran.
以往关于舌鳞状细胞癌（SCC）病因的研究报告了长期接触吸烟和酗酒的相关结果。本研究的目的是在一组极少接触吸烟和酒精的患者中调查舌SCC的危险因素。本研究回顾了64例经诊断为口腔舌SCC的病例。这些患者于1990年1月至2006年12月期间在伊朗哈马丹的伊玛目和布阿利医院（教育与治疗中心）接受了手术治疗。85%的患者年龄超过40岁。大多数患者口腔卫生差、有龋齿和口臭。看来口腔卫生差和营养缺乏可被视为伊朗西部舌SCC的危险因素。
