  Tobacco use, in any form, and excessive alcohol use are the major risk factors for oral cancer. […] Preventing tobacco and alcohol use and increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables can potentially prevent the vast majority of oral cancers (Sankaranarayanan and others 2013). […] The fact that more than 80 percent of oral cancers can be attributed to tobacco and/or alcohol consumption justifies regular oral examinations targeting tobacco and alcohol users, as well as prevention efforts focusing on tobacco and alcohol control (Radoi and others 2013). […] A healthy diet, good oral and sexual hygiene, and awareness of the signs and symptoms of disease are important. Success depends on political will, intersectoral action, and culturally sensitive public health messages disseminated through educational campaigns and mass media initiatives. […] Interventions targeted at reducing or eliminating tobacco and alcohol use should be considered for implementation when shown to be cost-effective. All the interventions presented are cost-effective, even for LMICs.

  Reduce your risk for lip cancer by avoiding common risk factors: […] Don’t use tobacco. Tobacco use is the leading risk factor for lip cancer and cancers of the mouth. If you smoke, consider quitting. […] Avoid heavy alcohol use. If you drink, do so in moderation. This means no more than two drinks a day for males, and no more than one drink daily for females. […] Protect yourself from the sun. Apply lip balm and sunscreen that’s at least SPF 30 anytime you’re outside (even on cloudy days). Whenever possible, plan outdoor activities outside the hours when you’re most likely to get direct sunlight. In the United States, you’ll get more sun exposure between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. […] Avoid tanning beds. Steer clear of tanning beds, which can increase your risk of lip and skin cancer. […] Get routine oral cancer screenings. Your primary care physician or dentist can perform these screenings to check for abnormalities.

  Fortunately, these steps may help prevent cancer in your oral cavity. Follow this advice from Dr. Mendelsohn to keep your mouth as healthy as possible: […] Tobacco use, both smoking and smokeless forms, is the top risk factor for oral cavity cancer. Certain forms of tobacco, such as cigars and chewing tobacco, do not affect the risk of lung cancer but greatly increase your chance of developing mouth cancer. Your primary care provider (PCP) can connect you with the resources you need to quit smoking or using tobacco. […] Your risk for oral cancer increases with the amount of alcohol you consume and, according to the American Cancer Society, multiplies by 30 times if you drink and smoke heavily. […] Dentists are required to do an oral cavity screening with every examination, according to Dr. Mendelsohn. Seeing your dentist every six to 12 months, as recommended by the American Dental Association, means you’ll have a full oral cancer screening at least once a year. […] Whenever you notice an abnormal sore or growth in your mouth, it’s best to have it looked at by a professional.

  Although some contributing factors related to AC, such as skin complexion and occupation, may be unmodifiable, sunscreen-containing LPAs should still be applied due to their known prophylactic and alleviating effects on AC. […] Savage et al. have outlined a prevention protocol for AC. This includes limiting sun exposure, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) higher than 30 applied every two hours when outdoors. […] The main histological types of LC are squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. […] As squamous cell carcinoma is strongly related to cumulative constant UV exposure, LPAs with UV barriers are of importance in preventing the occurrence of lip cancers. […] The objective of this systematic review is to analyse and critically appraise current literature to determine the effectiveness of sun protection factor containing LPAs (commercial and test formulation) in the prevention of actinic cheilitis, herpes labialis and lip cancer lesions. […] Pogoda et al. found that those in the high exposure group with an average UV flux of 430 or greater who applied LPA no more than once a day had twice the risk of having LC compared to those who applied LPA more than once a day.

  Avoid tobacco: Quitting smoking and other forms of tobacco use can greatly reduce the risk of developing oral and oropharyngeal cancer. […] Sun protection: Use lip balm with SPF, wear wide brimmed hats, and avoid prolonged sun exposure to reduce the risk of cancer caused by UV exposure. […] Vaccines have been developed to protect against high-risk HPV infections. These vaccines are given in three doses over six months and are approved for both males and females aged nine to 26. These vaccines prevent HPV infection but do not treat existing infections. Thus, vaccinating adults who have likely already been exposed to the virus may not provide cancer protection. By getting vaccinated, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing HPV-related cancers.
