Southern Indian women with aggressive oral cancer show unique genetic mutations linked to tobacco use, prompting calls for gender-specific prevention and treatment.
Indian researchers have found unique genetic mutations in southern Indian women with aggressive oral cancer, linked to chewing tobacco in betel quid and gutka.
A study of 38 women identified high rates of mutations in CASP8 and TP53 genes, with CASP8 emerging as a potential driver mutation distinct from male patterns.
AI analysis revealed two tumor subtypes with different immune responses, suggesting personalized treatment paths.
Another large study found genetic risk variants on chromosomes 5 and 6, along with NOTCH1, that cause high-risk individuals to develop cancer about 10 years earlier than others, despite similar tobacco use.
These findings highlight genetic susceptibility as a key factor in early onset and underscore the need for gender-specific research, better prevention, and Indian-specific risk tools.
Las mujeres del sur de la India con cáncer bucal agresivo muestran mutaciones genéticas únicas relacionadas con el consumo de tabaco, lo que provocó llamados a la prevención y el tratamiento específicos para cada género.
