Overview[edit | edit source]

Effective measures for the primary prevention of oral cancer include tobacco cessation, alcohol cessation, HPV vaccine, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.

Primary Prevention[edit | edit source]

Effective measures for the primary prevention of oral cancer include:^[1]
- Tobacco cessation^[2]
  - Based on solid evidence, cessation of exposure to tobacco (e.g., cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco) leads to a decrease in the risk of cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx.
- Cessation of alcohol consumption^[3]
  - Based on fair evidence, cessation of alcohol consumption leads to a decrease in oral cavity cancer but not until approximately 10 years after cessation.
  - For cancer of the oropharynx, reduction in risk does not occur until approximately 20 years after cessation.
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine^[4]
  - Vaccination against HPV 16 and 18 has shown to prevent more than 90% of oral HPV 16/18 infections within 4 years of vaccination.
  - HPV-positive patients should be educated that their partners are at risk of developing cancer.
- Safe oral sex
- Avoiding excessive sun exposure
