It may affect any anatomical site in the mouth, but most commonly the tongue and the floor of the mouth. It usually arises from a pre-existing potentially malignant lesion, and occasionally de novo;but in either case from within a field of precancerized epithelium. The use of tobacco and betel quid, heavy drinking of alcoholic beverages and a diet low in fresh fruits and vegetables are well known risk factors for oral squamous cell carcinoma. Important risk factors related to the carcinoma itself that are associated with a poor prognosis include large size of the tumour at the time of diagnosis, the presence of metastases in regional lymphnodes, and a deep invasive front of the tumour. Squamous cell carcinoma is managed by surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy singularly or in combination;but regardless of the treatment modality, the five-year survival rate is poor at about 50%. This can be attributed to the fact that about two-thirds of persons with oral squamous cell carcinoma already have a large lesion at the time of diagnosis.展开更多

Issues found in recent surveys of teachers and students of Oral English classes at four universities suggest that the Oral English course exam needs a theoretical model to ensure its reliability and validity and hence to better lead students' learning of spoken English. Applying language testing theories and using ethnographic methodologies, this paper attempts to propose such a model through discussing the problematic issues in current practice in Oral English course exams and defining the targeted oral English abilities to be examined.展开更多
