flag Southern Indian women with aggressive oral cancer show unique genetic mutations linked to tobacco use, prompting calls for gender-specific prevention and treatment.

flag Indian researchers have found unique genetic mutations in southern Indian women with aggressive oral cancer, linked to chewing tobacco in betel quid and gutka. flag 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. flag AI analysis revealed two tumor subtypes with different immune responses, suggesting personalized treatment paths. flag 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. flag 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.
