Overview

Effective measures for the primary prevention of oral cancer include tobacco cessation, alcohol cessation, HPV vaccine, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.

Primary Prevention

  • Effective measures for the primary prevention of oral cancer include:[1]
    • Tobacco cessation[2]
      • Based on solid evidence, cessation of exposure to tobacco (e.g., cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco) leads to a decrease in the risk of cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx.
    • Cessation of alcohol consumption[3]
      • Based on fair evidence, cessation of alcohol consumption leads to a decrease in oral cavity cancer but not until approximately 10 years after cessation.
      • For cancer of the oropharynx, reduction in risk does not occur until approximately 20 years after cessation.
    • Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine[4]
      • Vaccination against HPV 16 and 18 has shown to prevent more than 90% of oral HPV 16/18 infections within 4 years of vaccination.
      • HPV-positive patients should be educated that their partners are at risk of developing cancer.
    • Safe oral sex
    • Avoiding excessive sun exposure
