CALENDAR By Eric Oliver Enterprise Staff OCONOMOWOC — Oral cancer is one of the most eas- ily treatable and survivable cancers, it also one of the most preventable. Sam Khalili, an otolaryn- gologist at Aurora Medical Center in Summit, said oral cancer can be fatal. What can start as a small lingering bump, that could be easily treated, might grow a few centimeters and become more complex to treat and dangerous. As Oral Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end, Khalili wants people to be more educated about, under- stand what causes it and to get regularly examined. Common causes of oral cancer include the abuse of alcohol, through smoking or by contracting human papil- lomavirus. Otolaryngologists are see- ing an increase in oral cancer caused by HPV in adults aged 20 to 40 years old. Khalili said the number one way to prevent all oral cancers is to stop or limit fac- tors known to precipitate it. He also said the consensus is the HPV vaccine prevents many of the dangerous can- cer-causing strains of the virus. Khalili said safe sex and abstinence are ways to decrease the chance of con- tracting HPV. He said absti- nence is the only way to be 100 percent safe from oral dis- eases, but encouraged prac- ticing safe sex and having healthy oral hygiene habits. Several studies have shown that people with poor hygiene tend to have a higher risk of developing oral diseases. If a person is diagnosed with oral cancer Khalili said it is one of the more treatable types of cancer. In general, oral cancer is easily detectable. Khalili said when the cancer is growing in your mouth it's noticeable and can be easily detected. Khalili said if you have any lingering lesions or odd growths that are present for two weeks to have them examined. He also urged if a person start bleeding without any outside provocation to see a doctor. Surgeons can treat oral cancer in one of three ways: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. When people present symptoms, the size of the bump and whether the cancer has spread or not determines the course of action. Khalili said one of the biggest problems with oral cancer is ignoring the symp- toms. The size of the tumor makes all the difference. If a patient has a legion that's about a millimeter in size, Khalili said that can be solved with a simple surgery. If that same lesion grows two to three centimeters that's a longer surgery and possibly radiation. Khalili is human and knows that life gets in the way, but if a person puts off seeking medical care, oral cancer can increase in severi- ty. "I've seen it all the time," Khalili said. "I've seen people come in and you just know that if they came in when it was a small thing it would've been such a smaller ordeal for the individual." At Aurora, the head and neck group meet once a month to discuss the entire case load of head and neck patients. They develop plans beginning at surveillance and going all the way towards full treatment. Khalili said it's a fantastic group of doc- tors he is honored to be a part of. "When you want someone managing your tumor or can- cer or anything suspicious, you want to make sure it's not just one individual han- dling the whole thing," Khalili said. "You want an entire team handling that. When any problem shows up we all meet together." Email: eoliver@conleynet.com By Karen Pilarski Enterprise Staff WAUKESHA — Sylvester Lewandowski came to the Waukesha County Commu- nity Dental Clinic in severe pain from several problems with his teeth. He was told they couldn't be saved. Lewandowski couldn't afford the surgery so the clinic looked for funding. Through the Aging and Dis- ability Resource Center, Lewandowski got his smile back. WCCDC dentist Dr. Kathryn Connor said the clinic is open to low-income patients looking for a den- tist. The treatment complet- ed at the clinic involves emergency extractions for those who qualify. "We have relationships with other dentists in the county and act as a clearing- house," Connor said. The clinic doesn't make dentures on-site but has resources for low-income patients to have dentures made. Connor said patients would come to the clinic for emergency appointments. "Common issues were pain, swelling or a broken teeth," she said. Connor said older patients may have missing teeth or have lost them all. The center works with other community partners to get the patients continuous treatment. The aging population The center cares for elder- ly patients almost on a week- ly basis. Connor stresses people come in for emergen- cy care, not routine things such as teeth cleanings. Connor said seniors have complex dental needs. "They have more complex medical needs, they have had a history of dental care throughout lives," Connor said. She explained many may have loose fillings or restoration issues and there- fore more complicated den- tal needs than a young per- son with a short dental his- tory. A common issue faced by the aged population is a lack of dental insurance. Medi- care has very little in the way of dental benefits. Many patients often have to pay cash for dental services. Connor said a high percent- age of patients find it diffi- cult to pay cash for dental work. Another concern is the fear of pain and infection. "They worry about losing teeth, how their smile will look and how they will func- tion," Connor said. If the center's staff can't take care of a dental need such as a root canal or fill- ing, they find a dentist who can. The dentists there want to help patients keep their teeth and avoid the emergen- cy room. "If patients had insurance but don't anymore, they may feel afraid to ask for help," Connor said. Connor said seniors should ask their dentists if they're having financial trouble; most community dentists in the county are receptive to the problem. Similar to Lewandowski, Connor had a woman patient who was ashamed of her smile. The center removed her teeth and found resources to get her den- tures. "She has the biggest and brightest smile now," Con- nor said. The center welcomes the chance to help the communi- ty and give people a reason to smile all over the county.
