acetaldehyde and Cancer of Mouth

acetaldehyde has been researched along with Cancer of Mouth in 27 studies

Acetaldehyde: A colorless, flammable liquid used in the manufacture of acetic acid, perfumes, and flavors. It is also an intermediate in the metabolism of alcohol. It has a general narcotic action and also causes irritation of mucous membranes. Large doses may cause death from respiratory paralysis.
acetaldehyde : The aldehyde formed from acetic acid by reduction of the carboxy group. It is the most abundant carcinogen in tobacco smoke.
aldehyde : A compound RC(=O)H, in which a carbonyl group is bonded to one hydrogen atom and to one R group.
acetyl group : A group, formally derived from acetic acid by dehydroxylation, which is fundamental to the biochemistry of all forms of life. When bound to coenzyme A, it is central to the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and a major health problem in some parts of the world."2.46Oral cancer and polymorphism of ethanol metabolising genes. ( Acha-Sagredo, A; Aguirre-Urizar, JM; Marichalar-Mendia, X; Rey-Barja, N; Rodriguez-Tojo, MJ, 2010)
" On the basis of this review, we believe that there is now sufficient evidence to accept the proposition that alcohol-containing mouthwashes contribute to the increased risk of development of oral cancer and further feel that it is inadvisable for oral healthcare professionals to recommend the long-term use of alcohol-containing mouthwashes."2.44The role of alcohol in oral carcinogenesis with particular reference to alcohol-containing mouthwashes. ( Farah, CS; McCullough, MJ, 2008)
"Worldwide, oral cancer represents approximately 5 per cent of all malignant lesions, with over 800 new intra-oral squamous cell carcinomas registered in Australia each year."2.44The role of alcohol in oral carcinogenesis with particular reference to alcohol-containing mouthwashes. ( Farah, CS; McCullough, MJ, 2008)
"Candida isolated from patients with oral cancer demonstrated significantly higher biofilm mass (P = 0."1.43Candida virulence and ethanol-derived acetaldehyde production in oral cancer and non-cancer subjects. ( Alnuaimi, AD; Kolev, SD; McCullough, MJ; O'Brien-Simpson, NM; Ramdzan, AN; Reynolds, EC; Wiesenfeld, D, 2016)
"Acetaldehyde is a carcinogenic product of alcohol fermentation and metabolism in microbes associated with cancers of the upper digestive tract."1.39Fermentative 2-carbon metabolism produces carcinogenic levels of acetaldehyde in Candida albicans. ( Bowyer, P; Kaihovaara, P; Marttila, E; Rautemaa, R; Richardson, M; Salaspuro, M; Sanglard, D; Uittamo, J, 2013)
"A total of 90 patients [30 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); 30 oral lichenoid disease (OLD); 30 healthy controls (CO)] were enrolled in the study."1.39Acetaldehyde production and microbial colonization in oral squamous cell carcinoma and oral lichenoid disease. ( Lindqvist, C; Marttila, E; Rautemaa, R; Rusanen, P; Salaspuro, M; Uittamo, J, 2013)
"Alcohol is a risk factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma."1.39Alcohol and oral squamous cell carcinoma. ( Chandran, R; Feller, L; Khammissa, RA; Lemmer, J; Meyerov, R, 2013)
"An increased risk of oral cancer has been discussed for users of such mouthwashes; however, epidemiological evidence had remained inconclusive."1.35Salivary acetaldehyde increase due to alcohol-containing mouthwash use: a risk factor for oral cancer. ( Gumbel-Mako, S; Keck-Wilhelm, A; Kratz, E; Lachenmeier, DW; Mildau, G; Sohnius, EM, 2009)
"Acetaldehyde was analyzed from salivary samples gas chromatographically at 0, 5, and 10 minutes from the beginning of the smoking."1.33Eliminating carcinogenic acetaldehyde by cysteine from saliva during smoking. ( Hietala, JM; Marvola, ML; Salaspuro, MP; Salaspuro, VJ, 2006)
"Acetaldehyde has been shown to dissolve into the saliva during smoking and to be a local carcinogen in the human upper digestive tract."1.33Eliminating carcinogenic acetaldehyde by cysteine from saliva during smoking. ( Hietala, JM; Marvola, ML; Salaspuro, MP; Salaspuro, VJ, 2006)
"As acetaldehyde seems to be a carcinogenic factor associated with chronic alcohol consumption, alcoholics with the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) 1C*1 allele seem to be particularly at risk as this allele encodes for a rapidly ethanol metabolising enzyme leading to increased acetaldehyde levels."1.32Increased cancer risk in heavy drinkers with the alcohol dehydrogenase 1C*1 allele, possibly due to salivary acetaldehyde. ( Benesova, M; Conradt, C; Götte, K; Homann, N; Hörrmann, K; Inoue, H; Li, J; Salaspuro, M; Seitz, HK; Tisch, M; Väkeväinen, S; Visapää, JP, 2004)
"Oral cancer and alcoholic cirrhosis are relatively common diseases encountered in medical and dental practices."1.31Chronic alcoholism: a common risk factor in oral cancer and alcoholic cirrhosis. ( Perkins, I; Perkins, TM, 2001)
"A major risk factor common to both oral cancer and alcoholic cirrhosis is the excessive use of alcohol."1.31Chronic alcoholism: a common risk factor in oral cancer and alcoholic cirrhosis. ( Perkins, I; Perkins, TM, 2001)
