Abstract

Epidemiological studies have shown that the worldwide trend of human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced oral cancer has increased. Dentistry students need comprehensive information about HPV to provide accurate advice to their patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students’ knowledge and awareness about HPV. A questionnaire consisting of 16 questions was applied to 318 students (100 3rd grade, 119 4th grade, and 99 5th grades), who were studying at XXX. In this survey, students’ knowledge level and awareness were examined. In our study, 99 (31.0%) of the participants were male and 219 (68.9%) were female. There was a statistically significant difference between the classes in terms of participation rates in the statement “Some types of HPV cause oral cancer (p, 0.000; p < 0.05). The rate of participation of third grade (72%) students in this proposition was significantly lower than 4th grade (89.9%) and 5th grade (84.8%) students (p1, 0.000; p2, 0.000; p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between 4th and 5th grade students (p > 0.05). Overall, advanced students showed better knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding human papillomavirus-related oral cancer. Comprehensive training and motivation for improving dentistry students’ awareness against HPV-induced oral cancer will also improve knowledge and attitudes of the dental students.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

Kein (großer) Schutz vor Kolorektalkarzinom-Rezidiven durch ASS

Die erste Phase-3-Studie zum Nutzen von ASS in der adjuvanten Therapie des kolorektalen Karzinoms ist negativ verlaufen. Das abschließende Urteil über eine Sekundärprävention mit ASS ist trotzdem noch nicht gefallen.

Frühe CLL-Therapie: BTK-Hemmer verlängert EFS und PFS, aber nicht OS

Auch nach sechs Jahren ergibt sich kein Überlebensvorteil einer Therapie mit dem BTK-Hemmer Ibrutinib für Menschen mit frühem CLL-Stadium und erhöhtem Progressionsrisiko. Die Progressionsrate wird mit der Behandlung jedoch um über 80% gesenkt.

Adjuvantes Atezolizumab ohne Nutzen bei frühem TNBC

Patientinnen mit frühem triple-negativem Brustkrebs profitieren nach der Operation offenbar nicht von einer Zugabe des PD-L1-Hemmers Atezolizumab zur adjuvanten Standardchemotherapie. Die Studie, die das untersucht hat, wurde vorzeitig abgebrochen. Was könnte die schlechte Wirksamkeit erklären?

Brustkrebstherapie: zu wenig Aufklärung über Nebenwirkungen?

Ergebnisse eines internationalen Surveys legen nahe, dass die Aufklärung über Nebenwirkungen einer Brustkrebstherapie häufig unzureichend ausfällt bzw. zu spät erfolgt.
