Abstract
- In modern times, potent dietary carcinogens are key contributors for neoplastic development. For oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), one of the leading cancer types in developing countries, main oncogenic inducers/enhancers, including areca nut chewing, tobacco smoking, and alcohol consumption, were shown to promote cancer initiation/progression. Over decades, studies from different laboratories have identified underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms for carcinogen-induced OSCC. In this review, we will give an overview of where we are in understanding potential oral carcinogenic factors stimulated OSCC tumorigenesis, especially those associated with areca nut chewing in Asians, aiming to provide future scope of possible interception.<br /> (© 2014 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
