    Abstract Introduction: The association between areca nut consumption and oral cancer has been a subject of increasing concern in global public health.
    Global perspective: Areca nut, often chewed in various forms such as betel quid, is deeply rooted in cultural practices across Asia and other parts of the world. Epidemiological studies consistently reveal a significant correlation between areca nut use and the incidence of oral cancer, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive measures. The complex interplay of areca nut's bioactive compounds, particularly arecoline, with cellular processes, contributes to the initiation and progression of oral carcinogenesis. Mechanistic insights into the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of its components underscore the urgency for comprehensive public health interventions.
    Public health: Efforts to address this public health challenge involve multidisciplinary approaches, encompassing education, policy implementation, and behavioral interventions. Understanding the socio-cultural factors influencing areca nut consumption is pivotal for designing effective awareness campaigns and cessation programs.
    Conclusion: As oral cancer remains a significant global health burden, unraveling the nuanced relationship between areca nut and its role in oral carcinogenesis is crucial for advancing preventive strategies and mitigating the impact of this modifiable risk factor.

    Abstract Health crises have become a popular topic of discussion. In the wave of the ongoing pandemic, experts have suggested the role of vaping and other tobacco product use exemplifying the vulnerability of the population to contract the COVID-19. We discuss some of the events that led up to these conclusions and also offer a unique insight into another form of tobacco use that is potentially propagating its spread especially in the South Asian region-chewed tobacco. Both of these have been a perennial issue that head and neck cancer surgeons have been dealing with. Governments and head and neck cancer care providers now have an opportunity to deal with a common enemy in the midst of this pandemic.

    Abstract As this ever-evolving pandemic lays itself, more of its impact is being understood. Until recently, most guidelines were reported to aid in managing and treating suspected or confirmed cases. Research institutions around the world are responding with a sense of confusion. Some are continuing routinely, especially those who are overseeing clinical trials that could offer life-saving therapies, particularly against the novel coronavirus. Since research must continue even in the face of a shutdown, we aim to collate the currently available recommendations from various organizations and provide guidance to head and neck researchers across the world during these trying times.

    Abstract Objectives: Varying evidence exists surrounding skip metastasis in clinically node-negative oral cancer. We aim to report its incidence, identify factors predicting its presence, and determine survival outcomes to possibly decide "adequacy" of neck dissection for this select group.
    Methods: A review of audit records (clinical and pathologic) was undertaken to identify early stage (cT1/T2 cN0) oral squamous carcinoma patients operated between January 2016 and December 2020. Skip metastasis was defined as presence of nodal metastases distant from the primary tumour and at a lower level without metastases at levels above this. The factors predicting its presence were determined using chi-square and multivariate tests. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier and regression hazard models.
    Results: Occult metastasis rate was 17.9 % among 761 patients, with 47.1 % travelling to level I. Skip metastasis at level III was seen in 1.2 % and level IV was 0.3 %. Presence of PNI predicted the presence of skip metastasis at level III (p = 0.041, OR-0.241, 95 %CI 0.062-0.942) and no significant factors were identified for level IV. The 5-year disease-free survival was significantly reduced with isolated level IV metastasis (50 % vs 79.6 %, p = 0.017). Isolated occult metastasis at level Ia was in 0.3 %, all from tongue cancers. Their presence did not impact the 5-year overall survival (100 % vs 90.7 %, p = 0.628) and disease-specific survival (100 % vs 92.5 %, p = 0.675).
    Conclusion: The negligible incidence of skip metastasis to level IV in a clinically node negative neck suggests that clearance up to level III might be adequate in a large majority of patients.

    Abstract Head and neck canceris a major health problem globally with the projected incidence of 1,176,149 cases, an approximate 20% increase, in 2020. Most research today is directed towards reducing this incidence by understanding the mechanism and etiologic factors associated. Majority of these factors are habitual, with tobacco use being the most common. There are many variations in the use of tobacco ranging from smoked to smokeless, as well as novel innovations like e-cigarette and tobacco tablets, being introduced today. There are also many studies suggesting tobacco use as a gateway drug to other habitual substances, including alcohol and marijuana use. Many of these substances are now being utilized more by the youth than adults, which might develop a shift in the age of incidence in the future. Few countries have asignificant population of immigrants, who bring with thema diverse range of traditional habits, the effects of which still have to be studied on the population. An overview of the various habitual etiologiesassociated with head and neck cancers, and their mechanism of action have been reviewed here so as to get a holistic idea of these substances. Resumen: El cáncer de cabeza y cuello es un problema de salud relevante en el mundo, con una incidencia proyectada de 1176149 casos, un aumento aproximado del 20%, en 2020. La mayoría de las investigaciones actuales apuntan a reducir esta incidencia con la comprensión de los mecanismo de su génesis y los factores etiológicos asociados. La mayoría de estos factores son adicciones, siendo el uso del tabaco el más común. Hay muchas variaciones en el uso del tabaco que van desde con o sin combustión, así como novedosas innovaciones como el cigarrillo electrónico y las tabletas de tabaco, que se están introduciendo hoy en día. También hay muchos estudios que sugieren el uso del tabaco como una droga de entrada al uso de otras sustancias adictivas, incluido el consumo de alcohol y marihuana. Muchas de estas sustancias ahora están siendo utilizadas más por los ...
