Reconstruction Challenges

Post-surgical reconstruction is a critical component of oral cancer treatment. Surgeons often undertake complex procedures using grafts and flaps to restore functionality and aesthetics. After extensive resections, microvascular free flap reconstruction is commonly used to rebuild the jaw and oral cavity. This advanced approach significantly improves patient outcomes and quality of life.

🔬 Taking a Closer Look at Dysplasia 🔍

Based on our current understanding of oral cancer, we believe that cancer often has a precancerous stage. In the oral cavity, white lesions, such as leukoplakia, and red lesions, such as erythroplakia, can be classified as precancerous lesions.

The severity of dysplasia is classified along a spectrum from mild to severe by the pathologist. These lesions should be biopsied; if dysplasia is found, the lesion must be followed up and/or treated.

If you have been found to have a precancerous lesion or diagnosed with dysplasia, don't delay—make an appointment to see one of our providers at the Oral Cancer Institute for further evaluation and treatment.

Call us today to schedule your appointment. ☎️ 773-245-5253

🔍 Have you suffered Nerve damage as a result of trauma, jaw infection, jaw corrective surgery, or surgery related to jaw tumors?

Sometimes, either partial or complete loss of sensation may be permanent. In these instances, the nerve injury may require more attention and can be managed either by non-surgical methods or by surgical repair of the nerve.

For tumors involving the lower jaw, the inferior alveolar nerve, which provides innervation to the lower lip, may have to be sacrificed. A nerve graft may be used during tumor removal to help recover lip sensation.

At OCI, we provide personalized treatment options for your nerve injuries; contact us for more information ☎️ 773-245-5253

🔬 HPV Vaccine Insights 💉

Oral HPV is a common infection that can lead to oropharyngeal cancer, affecting areas like the base of the tongue and tonsils. Originally developed to prevent cervical cancer, the HPV vaccine also helps protect against these cancers.

The vaccine is most effective when given before exposure to HPV, offering crucial preventive care. While it can't treat existing infections, it plays a key role in preventing new ones. CDC guidelines recommend vaccine administration as early as the age of 9 years of age for boys and girls.

Take control of your health. Learn more about the HPV vaccine today.

Histopathological Variants of Ameloblastoma

Ameloblastomas are classified into several histopathological subtypes, including follicular, acanthomatous, granular, basal, desmoplastic, and plexiform. Among these, desmoplastic ameloblastoma is unique due to its distinct histomorphology, characterized by extensive stromal collagenization or desmoplasia. This variant frequently presents as a mixed radiolucent-radioopaque lesion on radiographs, often affecting the anterior maxilla.

Ameloblastoma treatment can be enhanced with virtual surgical planning, enabling precise resection and optimal reconstruction to restore form and function.

Combining bone grafting with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a cutting-edge approach in benign jaw tumor reconstruction.

PRP therapy utilizes the patient's blood to concentrate growth factors, significantly enhancing the body's natural healing processes, accelerating recovery, and promoting tissue regeneration. This is considered to be a form of tissue engineering.
The Oral Cancer Institute is committed to providing our patients with the latest and most effective treatments.

🦠 HPV-Associated OPSCC: Key Facts

HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) arises from persistent HPV infection in the oral mucosa, which can progress to invasive cancer over a decade if not cleared. The overwhelming majority of infections are cleared and do not lead to any issues. However, a small minority may persist and lead to malignancy.

Histopathology: In HPV-positive OPSCC, tumors typically develop in any of the sites in the throat or oropharynx. For the the tonsillar cancers specifically that arise deep in the tonsillar crypt epithelium, making them difficult to detect through visual inspection or superficial biopsy. Enlarged neck lymph nodes can often be the first present sign in some of these cases.
