- •
The role of bacterial and viral carcinogenesis in the oral cavity is becoming increasingly a subject of interest, as a means to provide more methods of cancer prevention.
- •
There have been suggestions of relationships between bacteria and multiple strains of viruses in the progression of malignancy in some studies.
- •
Cancer cause is closely related to the type of carcinogen, as well as the synergistic or additive actions of combined risk factors, the susceptibility of the host, and the duration of

The anticancer properties of metal-organic frameworks and their heterogeneous nanocomposites
2022, Biomaterials AdvancesCitation Excerpt :It has been indicated that some bacteria can mediate and exacerbate cancer by thriving inside cancerous tissues [24,25]. In addition, microbial infections would diminish the therapeutic efficacy during the treatment and lead to severe difficulties [1,26,27]. Therefore, using nanomaterials with antibacterial properties in cancer treatment is essential [28,29].
Oral lichen sclerosus—a review of clinical presentation, treatment, and clinical outcomes
2017, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral RadiologyCitation Excerpt :There are additional risk factors for the development of oral cancers in areas of the oral cavity not affected by LS, such as the salivary glands and the posterior oral cavity. These include exposure to sulfur dioxide, asbestos, pesticides, rubber products, inorganic acids, and burning fossil fuels (Table IV).35-42 In addition to the risk factors we accounted for in our review, future studies should evaluate these risk factors for the development of cancer from oral LS.
