Thanks Abhijeet, I will try that .

I am looking for published data though.

Mehrotra R, Pandya S, Chaudhary AK, Kumar M, Singh M. Prevalence of oral pre-malignant and malignant lesions at a tertiary level hospital in Allahabad, India. Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2008 Apr-Jun;9(2):263-5.

Hope this helps

Thank you Raeefa, will check it out.

hi mandana

how are you?

do you remember that i had told you im seeing young patients having oral cancer and am trying to observe these kind of cases?

dr sultan pradhan had told me sometime ago that prince aly khan hospital is doing a study on HPV and oral cancer.... they would have collected and published by now.

In India, the age standardized incidence rate of oral cancer is reported at 12.6 per 100,000 people. This is as per an 2012 review article. This is an very deep extensive review. The title of this article is " An Overview of Oral Cancer in Indian Subcontinent and Recommendations to Decrease its Incidence".

I have also attached a link where u can find out this above mentioned article.

If any one finds much newer documented rates please do share with me.

Thank You Faraz, I had already read this article, while the review is recent the references that have been used in the review are all pre 2010.

This is the situation in most recent publications. I was hoping to locate some recent data. Thanks for the reference anyway.

Article: Outcomes of Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap in Female Patients for Oral Cavity Defect Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Although much has been mentioned in the literature worldwide regarding the outcome of pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (PMMFs), hardly any studies are available that mention the outcome of PMMFs in female patients. It has been presumed that complication rates after PMMF reconstruction in female patients are higher because of the presence of more adipose tissue in the flap. The objective of this study was to analyze our data regarding the outcomes of PMMFs in female patients with oral cancer undergoing reconstruction after tumor ablation. In this retrospective study from January 2008 to May 2012, performed in a single institution in south India, we have analyzed our data on PMMFs in 140 female patients with oral cancer. The operative technique used was essentially the same as that described originally by Ariyan. However, to preserve the deltopectoral flap area, the incision was appropriately modified in a manner as described by Schuller. The mean age of the patients was 52.36 years, with a range from 30 to 76 years. They presented mostly with ulcers or ulceroproliferative lesions. Most of the patients had a history of tobacco and betel nut chewing. All of them underwent composite resection and reconstruction with PMMF under general anesthesia. Of the patients, 30 (21.4%) had complications, comprising infection (8), superficial flap necrosis (11), combined wound infection and superficial flap necrosis (3), total flap failure (2), and orocutaneous fistula (6). PMMF reconstruction is a reliable and cosmetically acceptable method of reconstruction in female patients for oral cavity defects after tumor ablation.

What is the% of oral cancer in india as per GLOBACON 2012. Can any one tell me pls

UMA AN

Mam as as per my information it is as following: 

The age-adjusted incidence of oral cancer is highly variable in India and has been demonstrated by several studies. The population based cancer registry data, as well as the literature reviewed by Ken Rusell in 2012 demonstrated the nationwide incidence can be as high as 20 per 100,000 population, which varied considerably based on study designs, sampling methodology and case ascertainment, as well as by age, gender and location. Variations in age-specific incidence rates also increased with age, which drops at the age of seventy, a trend which is consistent in multiple studies from 1990 to 2012 (Ken Rusell 2012).

Thank you mam for the information. Since I am working on oral cancer cases in Pondicherry, I have too found that the incidence is different / variable from other studies in India and the etiopathogenesis also seem to play a major role. Thanks for answering my query.   Regards , AN UMA

They have employed a model to estimate the current prevalence and incidence.

Let me know, your opinion on it.

Thanks Shahnawaz , will certainly get back after reading the article.
