Oral and oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is a complex and often relentless malignancy prone to local invasion and dissemination. Despite advances in understanding of the disease and improved therapeutic interventions, it continues to be diagnosed at an advanced stage and the survival rate remains poor. The financial cost of treating OPC may be the highest of all cancers in the United States and survivors often experience major detriments to quality of life. Major risk factors for OPC are tobacco, alcohol, areca nut, and human papillomavirus infection. This article updates medical practitioners on the causes, presentation, diagnosis, and management of OPC.
口腔和口咽癌(OPC)是一种复杂且通常难以控制的恶性肿瘤,易于局部侵袭和扩散。尽管在对该疾病的认识和治疗干预方面取得了进展,但它仍常在晚期被诊断出来,生存率仍然很低。在美国,治疗OPC的经济成本可能是所有癌症中最高的,幸存者的生活质量往往受到重大损害。OPC的主要风险因素是烟草、酒精、槟榔和人乳头瘤病毒感染。本文向医学从业者介绍了OPC的病因、表现、诊断和管理的最新情况。
