A MEDLINE search early in 2015 revealed more than 250,000 papers on head and neck cancer; over 100,000 on oral cancer; and over 60,000 on mouth cancer. Not all publications contain robust evidence. We endeavour to encapsulate the most important of the latest information and advances now employed in practice, in a form comprehensible to healthcare workers, patients and their carers. This series offers the primary care dental team in particular, an overview of the aetiopathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis and multidisciplinary care of mouth cancer, the functional and psychosocial implications, and minimization of the impact on the quality of life of patient and family. Clinical relevance: This article offers the dental team a brief overview of chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
2015年初的一项医学期刊数据库检索显示，有关头颈癌的论文超过25万篇；有关口腔癌的论文超过10万篇；有关口腔癌的论文超过6万篇。并非所有出版物都包含有力的证据。我们努力将目前在实践中应用的最新信息和进展中最重要的部分，以医护人员、患者及其护理人员能够理解的形式进行概括。本系列尤其为基层牙科团队提供了口腔癌的病因发病机制、预防、诊断和多学科护理、功能和心理社会影响以及将对患者及其家庭生活质量的影响降至最低的概述。临床相关性：本文为牙科团队提供了化疗和靶向治疗的简要概述。
