		Oral cancer is cancer found in the oral cavity (the mouth area) and the oropharynx (the throat area at the back of the mouth).
		When patients newly diagnosed with oral and oropharynx cancers are carefully examined, about 15 percent will have another cancer in nearby areas such as the larynx (voice box), esophagus (the part of the digestive system between the throat and stomach), or lung.
		For this reason, it is very important for patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer to have follow-up examinations for the rest of their lives and avoid risk factors, such as smoking and drinking, which increase the risk for these second cancers.

	Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation: Healthy Living - Oral Cancer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Often oral and throat cancer are discussed together because both the oral cavity and throat are involved in both breathing and eating.
		Oral cancer is characterized in stages from Stage 1 (the cancer is no more than 2 cm and has not spread to lymph nodes) through Stage IV (the cancer has spread to tissues around the lip and oral cavity and/or has spread to lymph nodes on one or both sides of the neck).
		Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and is frequently diagnosed at a late stage when survival rates are poor.

	Oral Cancer Facts
		The death rate for oral cancer is higher than that of cervical cancer, Hodgkins disease, cancer of the brain, liver, testes, kidney, or skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
		If you expand the definition of oral cancers to include cancer of the larynx, for which the risk factors are the same, the numbers of diagnosed cases grow to 41,000 individuals, and 12,500 deaths per year in the US alone.
		Treatment of oral cancers is ideally a multidisciplinary approach involving the efforts of surgeons, radiation oncologists, chemotherapy oncologists, dental practitioners, nutritionists, and rehabilitation and restorative specialists.

	Oral Candidiasis
		Common clinical types of mucocutaneous candidiasis include: oropharyngeal (affecting the oral cavity and/or pharynx), vulvovaginal (affecting the vaginal and vulvar mucosa), paronychial (affecting the nail beds and folds), interdigital (usually affecting the skin in between the fingers), intertriginous (affecting the skin of the submammary areas or the groin and/or scrotum).
		The diagnosis of oral candidiasis is most frequently made on the basis of clinical appearance along with exfoliative cytology examination.

	oral
		The primary oral complications of cancer are poor oral hygiene, infections, stomatitis, ulcers, dry mouth, and taste alteration (hypogeusia or decreased ability to taste, ageusia or no ability to taste, and dysgeusia or unpleasant taste).
		Unfortunately, oral problems in patients with cancer are more often than not overlooked or ignored by medical personnel, hence even simple-to-treat problems cause discomfort and even affect nutritional status for long periods of time.
		Aspergillosis is a fungal infection of the oral cavity and/or lungs, causing oral lesions, difficulty breathing, cough, bloody and/or purulent sputum, and fever.

	Oral thrush
		Oral thrush is a minor problem for healthy children and adults, but for those with weakened immune systems, symptoms of oral thrush may be more severe, widespread and difficult to control.
		Oral thrush usually produces creamy white lesions on your tongue and inner cheeks and sometimes on the roof of your mouth, gums and tonsils.
		Oral thrush and other Candida infections occur when your immune system is weakened by disease or drugs such as prednisone, or when antibiotics disturb the natural balance of microorganisms in your body.

	Oral Cancer
		There are two types of oral cancer: oral cavity cancer, which starts in the mouth, and oropharyngeal cancer, which develops in the part of the throat just behind the mouth (the oropharynx).
		Even though oral cancer is the sixth-leading form of cancer death, it often isn't detected before it is at an advanced stage and plainly visible to the naked eye.
		Pinpointing the genetic changes associated with the risk and progression of oral cancer is the goal of a five-year, $4.2 million study funded by the National Cancer Institute and led by Dr. Chu Chen at the Hutchinson Center.

	Oral law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An oral law is a code of conduct in use in a given culture, religion or other regroupement, by which a body of rules of human behaviour is transmitted by oral tradition and effectively respected, or the single rule that is orally transmitted.
		The oral tradition (from the Latin tradere = to transmit) is the typical instrument of transmission of the oral codes or, in a more general sense, is the complex of what a culture transmits of itself among the generations, "from father to son".
		Some oral laws provide all these elements (for instance, some codes of conduct in use among criminal associations like mafia do have a well known law, a judge, a condemnation), while others usually miss some of them.

	Oral Cancer
		Oral cancer — which includes cancers of the lips, tongue, cheek, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and pharynx (throat) — can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early.
		The rate of development of cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx began to decline in the late 1970s and has continued to decline throughout the 1990s in both African Americans, and white males and females.
		Oral cancer is treated the same way many other cancers are treated; that is with surgery to remove the cancerous growth followed by radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy (drug treatments) to destroy any remaining cancer cells.

	Oral Cancer Consortium :: Screenings
		Our goal is to increase awareness of oral cancer and encourage people not only to become more aware of the abnormal spots in their mouths, but also to discuss oral cancer with their dentists.
		Among the obstacles to early detection of oral cancer is that these lesions are painless and may be associated with very subtle color changes in the lining tissue of the mouth.
		Oral cancer affects more than 30,000 Americans each year, claiming more than 8,000 lives as compared to melanoma and cervical cancer, which account for approximately 7,000 and 5,000 deaths per year, respectively.

		Oral cancer includes cancer of your lips, mouth, tongue, gums and salivary glands.
		Unfortunately, many oral and throat cancers are far advanced by the time a doctor is made aware of the situation.
		This is because oral and throat cancers are usually painless in their early stages or have minor symptoms similar to other health problems, such as a toothache.

	The Oral Law
		Common sense suggests that some sort of oral tradition was always needed to accompany the Written Law, because the Torah alone, even with its 613 commandments, is an insufficient guide to Jewish life.
		They are more apt to see the Talmud and the Oral Law as an evolving system, in which successive generations of rabbis discussed and debated how to incorporate the Torah into their lives.
		The differing views of Orthodox and Conservative Judaism on both the antiquity and binding nature of the Oral Law are one of the major, perhaps the major, issues separating them.

	Oral History Online
		While oral historians generally have embraced opportunities for world wide dissemination of their work via the web, many are also appropriately skeptical of the very ease of access the web affords, vastly increasing the possibility for misuse of existing interviews.
		Almost twenty years ago Alessandro Portelli argued convincingly that oral history is primarily oral, that "the tone and volume range and the rhythm of popular speech carry implicit meaning and social connotations which are not reproducible in writing.
		Moyer also addresses a number of important conceptual and ethical issues related to conducting and using oral histories, including questions of accuracy, the limits of oral history, strategies for overcoming specific interview problems, and twenty questions to help interviewers learn from their experience.
