In Malaysia, oral cancer, a potentially deadly disease characterised by silent progression and often late-stage diagnosis, has emerged as a significant public health concern. However, studies reveal that the survival rate for oral cancer among Malaysians is nearly 50% after treatment with surgery and radiotherapy, which is much lower than in most developed countries. According to Cancer Research Malaysia, in 2020, 377,713 individuals were diagnosed with oral cancer globally, and 177,757 succumbed to the disease.
Dr Shailendra
Dr Shailendra Sivalingam, Consultant Otorhinolaryngology (ENT), Otology, Neurotology, Head & Neck, and Skull Base Surgery at Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City, offers in-depth insights into oral cancer among Malaysians, emphasising the necessity of early diagnosis and treatment.
Unveiling the Causes and Lifestyle Factors of Oral Cancer
“Oral cancer, which often affects the gums, cheeks, tongue, and tonsils, can present as white patches or ulcers. Depending on the cancer’s location, it can quickly spread to the throat or lymph nodes due to the oral cavity’s rich lymphatic drainage system, enabling tumor cells to disseminate early,” Dr. Shailendra explains.
The disease arises from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, with significant contributions from both HPV-related and non-HPV-related causes. HPV, especially high-risk types like HPV-16, is strongly linked to oropharyngeal cancers, demonstrating a strong causal relationship, particularly in tonsil-related cancers.
“Risks for oral cancer include HPV infection, excessive or prolonged smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor dental hygiene, which introduce carcinogens to the oral cavity, causing genetic mutations that may lead to the development of cancerous cells.” Dr. Shailendra notes.
Among the South Asian population, betel nut chewing also contributes to oral cancer. Furthermore, the World Health Organisation classifies betel nut or areca as a carcinogenic ingredient and warns of its impact on cancer. “The betel nut’s strong acidic nature, containing arecoline and lime, stays in the mouth for extended periods, causing lesions and alters the mouth’s microbiome and oral mucosa, leading to cancer”, he adds.
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and the Journey to Treatment
Dr. Shailendra advises on recognising oral abnormalities to aid early detection of oral cancer. He shares, “Symptoms like long-lasting ulcers or unusual bleeding in the oral cavity, cheek, or throat can be easy to overlook. It’s often not until the symptoms become impossible to ignore, such as changes in voice, difficulty eating, or noticeable weight loss, that intervention occurs. By then, it might be stage three, a much more difficult situation to treat.”
“If something in your mouth doesn’t feel right and persists for more than a week, it’s essential to get it checked. Early detection can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment and recovery”, he adds.
Treatment and Impact of Oral Cancer
“Diagnosing oral cancer is a detailed process, from biopsy to determining the cancer’s stage, illustrating the disease’s difficulty in early detection,” he continues. Treatment may range from surgery in early stages to a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation in more advanced cases. Despite advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy, accessing these treatments can be challenging.
The impact of treatment often involves significant surgical interventions, potentially affecting the patient’s quality of life. This includes the possibility of disfigurement and difficulties in speaking and swallowing due to the tumour or cancer removal in the tongue, cheek, lip or even tonsil area.
Reducing Risk and Importance of Early Detection for Oral Cancer
Beyond the medical interventions, Dr Shailendra speaks about the critical role of lifestyle changes and preventive measures, advising, “Abstaining from tobacco and betel quid, maintaining oral hygiene, and regular dental check-ups can considerably lower the risk”.
With an observed increase in oral cancer among young adults, research underscores the effectiveness of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccines in preventing oral cancer, provided they are administered early. “HPV vaccines are an effective protection against oral, head, neck, and cervical cancers. However, they do not work if you already have cancer or are already infected. Therefore, the earlier the vaccine is administered, the better,” he adds.
He underscores the importance of early detection and treatment, “If you notice an area in your mouth that has not healed after one week, get it checked. Early diagnosis can make a significant difference in treatment outcome and post-treatment quality of life.”

Monday 29 April 2024 – Drawing upon extensive experience and expertise, especially in the realm of nutritionally balanced food products, Nestle Health Science, under the roof of Nestle Thailand, has led the way in developing OPTIFAST, Thailand’s first medical food for weight reduction designed specifically for weight management among those in need, e.g., overweight individuals, those with obesity or abnormalities related to obesity. OPTIFAST serves as a meal replacement option, seamlessly complementing lifestyle modification; for example, limiting energy intake, encouraging nutritional food consumption, and adjusting exercise routines for weight loss.
“Nestle remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering ‘Good for You’ products that enrich lives today and tomorrow. Nestle Health Science, building on this strategy, harnesses its expertise in nutrition to pioneer nutritionally balanced products. With the unveiling of OPTIFAST, Thailand’s first medical food for weight reduction, which has already been registered as a medical food. OPTIFAST is a globally recognized product that offers an approach for Thai consumers who need to lose weight, delivering diverse nutrition with a delicious taste that can be enjoyed daily.” Ms. Anusara Khomvilai, Business Manager, Nestle Health Science said.
OPTIFAST is a medical food for weight reduction, offering a diverse and suitable range of nutrients. Each sachet delivers 215 kilocalories, featuring a protein content of 20 grams. Protein is crucial for muscle maintenance and support. There are also 18.8 grams of carbohydrates and minimal fructose sugar of less than 0.5 grams, along with three types of dietary fiber. Fiber promotes digestive health and regular bowel movements. Furthermore, with the inclusion of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), as well as a variety of vitamins and minerals, it contributes to ensuring diverse nutrition during periods of calorie restriction and can be consumed as a meal replacement.
Colonel Sirakarn Tejavanija, M.D., Physician Nutrition Specialist Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, underscores the importance and correct methods of weight loss, stating: “Currently, there are numerous weight loss methods promising short-term results. However, without guidance from a physician or a dietitian, they may have detrimental long-term effects on the body. For example, adhering to a ketogenic diet that emphasizes high-fat intake may lead to excessive consumption of fats from various animal meats, butter, and coconut milk, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease and related conditions. Similarly, strict calorie restriction diets can result in inadequate nutrient intake, particularly protein, causing significant loss of both fat and muscle mass in the body. Despite initial rapid weight loss, such diets can slow down the body’s metabolism, leading to swift weight regain once regular eating habits resume, perpetuating a frustrating cycle.
In the field of medicine, the key to achieving effective and safe weight loss lies in a core principle: reducing calorie intake to prompt the body to utilize stored fat for energy. However, it’s imperative to ensure adequate intake of high-quality protein to preserve muscle mass, essential for maintaining metabolic efficiency and sustainable weight management. Additionally, incorporating heart-healthy fats and ensuring sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals are essential components. These strategies ensure optimal nutrition during calorie restriction, fostering a safe and successful weight loss journey with tangible results.”
OPTIFAST, a medical food for weight reduction, offers an alternative for individuals in need of weight loss according to medical advice. Utilized alongside exercise behavior adjustments, it is administered under the guidance of healthcare professionals. Now readily available and purchasable through hospital outlets, Health Up Pharmacy and Nestle Health Science Official Stores on various platforms, including Lazada and Shopee.
