Published: June 2023

We aim to summarise the latest evidence to better inform OMFS practitioners about the deleterious effects of vaping on oral health and the risks of oral cancer, so they can better inform their patients. Current evidence suggests that e-cigarette use is not risk-free.

Cowden Syndrome and Oral Lesions: A Case Report Using MLPA.

Am J Case Rep

January 2025

Research Institute of Dentistry, Department of Integral Dental Clinics, University Center of Health Sciences, Universidad de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico.

BACKGROUND Cowden syndrome is a genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to cancer and is characterized by hamartomas derived from 3 germ layers. Although the clinical signs can be pathognomonic, diagnosis is often aided by biopsies, histopathological examination of oral and cutaneous lesions, and genetic studies, including multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). CASE REPORT We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who manifested with multiple lesions in the buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue, and gums, along with papillomatous papules on her facial skin and the dorsal surfaces of her hands.

Causal effects of retinol and vitamin D on tongue cancer risk: a mendelian randomization study.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Stomatology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100050, China.

Background: Previous studies have indicated that retinol and vitamin D may be associated with the oncogenesis of tongue cancer. Therefore, we aimed to assess the causal relationships of retinol and vitamin D with the risk of tongue cancer using the two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method.

Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to retinol, vitamin D and tongue cancer were obtained from the up-to-date genome-wide association study (GWAS) catalogue, which was screened for instrumental variables (IVs).

Sodium nitrite orchestrates macrophage mimicry of tongue squamous carcinoma cells to drive lymphatic metastasis.

Br J Cancer

January 2025

MOE Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Regulation, State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, PR China.

Background: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a malignant oral cancer with unclear pathogenesis that shows a tendency for early-stage lymphatic metastasis. This results in a poor prognosis, with a low 5-year survival rate. Dietary sodium nitrite (NaNO) has proposed associations with disease, including cancer.

Colon cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating advancements in therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes. Current treatment modalities, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, are limited by systemic toxicity, low drug utilization rates, and off-target effects. Colon-targeted drug delivery systems (CDDS) offer a promising alternative by leveraging the colon's unique physiology, such as near-neutral pH and extended transit time, to achieve localized and controlled drug release.
