Eliminating Medicaid dental benefits and early ‐stage oral cancer diagnoses
ConclusionsEliminating Medicaid dental benefits negatively impacted early detection of cancers of the oral cavity. Continued volatility of Medicaid dental coverage and provider shortages may be further delaying oral cancer diagnoses. Alternative approaches are needed to prevent advanced stage OPC.

Factors associated with oral hygiene compliance in patients treated with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer
CONCLUSIONS: The reasons for the cohort of patients with HNC in this study being OHNC are multifaceted and relate to socioeconomic factors and cancer characteristics.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Finding ways to increase OHC and fluoride use among patients with HNC who are at greatest risk of being OHNC should be explored.PMID:38456849 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj.2023.11.018 (Source: Journal of the American Dental Association)

In silico evaluation and feasibility of near margin-less head and neck daily adaptive radiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: The IOE enables feasible daily ART treatments with reduced margins while enhancing target coverage and reducing OAR doses for HNC patients. A phase II trial recently finished accrual and forthcoming analysis will determine if these dosimetric improvements correlate with improved patient-reported outcomes.PMID:38453056 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110178 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Unlocking the secrets: exploring the influence of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and microbiome on cancer development
Cell Mol Biol Lett. 2024 Mar 6;29(1):33. doi: 10.1186/s11658-024-00538-0.ABSTRACTGut microbiota regulates various aspects of human physiology by producing metabolites, metabolizing enzymes, and toxins. Many studies have linked microbiota with human health and altered microbiome configurations with the occurrence of several diseases, including cancer. Accumulating evidence suggests that the microbiome can influence the initiation and progression of several cancers. Moreover, some microbiotas of the gut and oral cavity have been reported to infect tumors, initiate metastasis, and promote the spread of cancer to distant organ...
