Burden of oral cancer
• Globally accounted for 8.8 million deaths in 2015
• Incidence -17 per 100000 males in SL
• 2-3 deaths per day in SL
• Ranks 2nd place in Sri Lankan population when both sexes
are combined
• 2152 new cases in 2018
Risk Factors of OC & OPMD
1. Betel quid / areca nut chewing
2. Tobacco in various forms – smoking / smokeless
3. Heavy alcohol consumption
4. Dietary micronutrient deficiency
5. UV radiation – outdoor work
6. HPV
7. Poor Oral Hygiene / Periodontal disease
8. Immune deficiency
9. Mouthwashes
10. Genetics
11. Maté drinking

Prevalence of risk factors
Betel quid chewing
• 34-44 age group 34% & 65-74 age group
47.7%(NOHS,2002/2003)
• 34-44 age group 39.4% & 65-74 age group
49.6%(NOHS2015/2016)
• 18-69 years 26% males and 5 % females are currently
using smokeless tobacco (STEP survey 2015)
Risk groups
How to identify high risk individuals
Issues leading to increased burden
• Oral CA common among people live in law SES
• Lack of awareness
• Late presentation- about 76% cases present in stage 3 or
4
• (5 year survival rate remains 50%)
Activities targeting prevention & early
diagnosis of oral CA
• Opportunistic screening
• Developing sustainable Continuous Active screening
program for risk groups.
• Promote self oral examination
• Creating awareness and interventions for preventing risk
behaviors
• Monitoring and evaluation screening programs
Screening for oral cancers
• Fulfills all the criteria for screening including
Long latent period
Most cost effective approach
• Oral CA Preceded by OPMD
• 1. Leukoplakia
• 2. Erythroplakia
• 3. erythroleokoplakia
• 4. OSMF
• 5.OLP
Burden of OPMD
• Prevalence among 35-34 age group 1.57%
• Prevalence Among 65-74 age group 3.68%
• Prevalence among rural and estate sector 11%
