Notice: The authors and publisher have made every effort to ensure that the patient care recommended herein, including choice of drugs and drug dosages, is in
accord with the accepted standard and practice at the time of publication. However, since research and regulation constantly change clinical standards, the reader
is urged to check the product information sheet included in the package of each drug, which includes recommended doses, warnings, and contraindications. This
is particularly important with new or infrequently used drugs. Any treatment regimen, particularly one involving medication, involves inherent risk that must be
weighed on a case-by-case basis against the benefits anticipated. The reader is cautioned that the purpose of this book is to inform and enlighten; the information
contained herein is not intended as, and should not be employed as, a substitute for individual diagnosis and treatment.

Preface
All multicellular animals, and certainly all vertebrates,
can develop cancer. The ability to develop cancer is a
characteristic of all cells that are capable of reproduction and growth. Cancer, by its very naturean abnormal, seemingly unrestricted growth of body cellsis
distinguished from other forms of illness.
There are many differences in the occurrence of
cancer types and sites among human populations: for
example, the high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer
among the Chinese compared with other ethnic groups
and the low incidence of skin cancer among blacks
compared with whites.
Although cancer may occur at any age, it is preponderantly a disease of aging and can be both acute
and chronic in its course. More than half of all cancers
in the United States occur in persons over the age of 65
years. In this age group, the incidence is 2,261 cases
per 100,000 population! Many types of cancer are perceptible only when they are extensive or involve organs
difficult to treat, and others may be detected early,
treated, and cured.
This complex disease, which is a major cause of
morbidity and disability, is second only to heart disease as the leading cause of death among Americans.
Approximately one in every three Americans will have
cancer in his or her lifetime, and about one in every
four deaths is attributable to a malignant tumor.
In the United States, oral cancer accounts for nearly
3% of all cancers and approximately 2% of all cancer
deaths. Mortality is high, with 5-year survival rates
that approximate only a little more than 50%, in spite
of modern treatments that include surgery, radiation,
and chemotherapy. However, early detection of mouth
cancers (ie, when lesions are less than 3 cm in size and
show no evidence of deep invasion or metastasis) dramatically increases the survival rates. Unfortunately,
over the past decade there have been only small
improvements in early diagnosis of oral cancer: more
