Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral cancer is one of the rare cancers in many developed countries, although it occurs very frequently in some Asian regions that prefer betel nut. So far, various clinical studies on oral cancers have been included in "head and neck cancer", and various treatment guidelines have been published. However, although the sites of pharyngeal cancer and oral cancer are close to each other, their carcinogenic mechanisms and responses to radiation and anticancer drugs are significantly different. Since oral cancer is a rare cancer, it is difficult to conduct clinical studies targeting only oral cancer, and, therefore, there are many studies on oral cancers with a small number of cases with a low level of evidence.
The incidence of oral cancer is increasing in many countries. Treatment of oral cancer has various problems, such as ensuring aesthetics and maintaining oral function, as well as life prognosis. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect the results of basic and clinical research on oral cancer, especially clinical research conducted by multiple institutions, from all over the world, and to obtain findings that will lead to improved prognosis and quality of life for patients with oral cancer.
