how common is mouth cancer in 16 year olds?

Question

How do I know if a 15 year old has mouth cancer?

Answer 1

Rare: Smoking of any kind and use of alcohol will increase your risk over time. Get six month soft tissue examination at your regular dental check ups. No need to worry at your current age.

Answer 2

Very rare: Although other types of cancers are prevalent in children and teens, cancers of the oral cavity are very rare. physical irritation, such as the untreated sharp edge of a broken tooth, alcohol abuse, smoking anything, and mot especially use of tobacco in any form, is associated with increased risk of oral cancer. So don't. If you have a question, see your Dentist for an exam.

Answer 3

See below: Most of the time a good moisturizing cream and pumice stone will do the trick.

Answer 4

Survival, but.....: Used to be, the short answer was simply survival risk with stage 1 having the best prognosis and stage IV the worst. While stages 1/2 still have the highest survival rates but improved surgical techniques and chemotherapy and i'd add lifestyle changes, have leveled the playing field greatly. Colon cancer, even advanced is often quite treatable.

Answer 5

Many diseases : You should see your dermatologist for treatment and evaluation. This way you can find out the cause.

Answer 6

Hydroquinone cream: Try hydroquinone cream. Rub in a small amount 2 times each day. You can find a 2% hydroquinone cream over the counter in most pharmacies. Natural liquorice extract is another treatment that works but is usually not as effective.

Answer 7

It's only for some: Provenge (sipuleucel-t) is used in a very specific clinical situation with prostate cancer--definitely not indicated for everyone. The best treatment depends on the stage and grade of the cancer.

Answer 8

NO: Provenge( sipuleucel t ) is the first autologous cellular immuno therapeutic vaccine it is prepared from the same patient, just for that patient only. Indication are for castrate resistant ( hormone )cancers that did not spread too much, so use is limited, besides being expensive, and current data is too small.. So leading treatments are still the proven traditional treatments

Answer 9

No: Very few people get to this level of treatment, usually late stage therapy.

Answer 10

A standard option: Provenge (sipuleucel-t) is a standard option for men who have progressive disease despite hormonal therapy and no or minimal symptoms. It probably is most effective earlier in the disease course before the tumors are too large. There have been two randomized phase iii trials proving efficacy.
