Brief Summary  

Background:

Oral cancer is the most common cancer in India amongst men, and accounts for around 30% of all cancers in India.  Oesophageal cancer is the 6th most common cancer in India. Along with the common risk factors like tobacco and alcohol, bacteria have been established as risk factors for cancer.  Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is an anaerobic gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the oral epithelium and has been strongly associated with periodontal disease. It has been detected in both Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oesophageal squamous carcinoma tissue. 

Reliable data addressing the impact of this bacterium and periodontitis on the causation of Oro-Oesophageal malignancies remain scarce.  Mere presence of the same species of an oral pathogen in the tumour tissue and in the periodontal pockets of a patient suffering from periodontal disease does not indicate an association between malignancy and periodontitis.  Since P. gingivalis has a strong association with periodontal diseases, examination of whether identical strains of P. gingivalis can be isolated from Oro-Oesophageal cancers and dental plaque specimens obtained from the same patient will go a long way in throwing light on the possible causal association between periodontal disease and Oro-Oesophageal malignancies.

 

·       Aim:  Exploring the association between Porphyromans Gingivalis strains isolated from Dental Plaque and from  the tumor tissue of Oro-Oesophageal cancer patients

Objectives

·       To estimate prevalence rate of P. gingivalis in patients with Oral / Oesophageal cancers using anaerobic culturing and MALDI-TOFMS.

·       Perform strain typing of P. gingivalis isolates from the saliva, dental plaque, tumour tissue and adjoining healthy tissue of patients with Oral / Oesophageal cancer using Arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR).

·       To explore the association between the P. gingivalis strains isolated from the dental plaque with those isolated from the cancerous tissue.

·       To validate saliva as a potential non invasive diagnostic fluid for P. gingivalis isolation.

·       To correlate P. gingivalis strains with periodontal health status

Sample size : Oesophageal cancer patients: 80; Oral cancer patients: 85

       Duration of study : 3 year
