title: [Stomato-oncological screening in diabetic patients].
abstract: The data of the literature suggest that studies have not been performed to date on possible correlations between diabetes and precancerous states and tumors in the oral cavity. Internationally, only one investigation appears to have dealt with the incidence of leukoplakia among diabetics. In the present work, stomato-oncological screening was performed on 200 treated diabetics. Precancerous lesions were found in 8%, and benign lesions in 14.5%. Comparison with earlier Hungarian screening studies indicated that benign and precancerous lesions occur with greater frequency among diabetics than in the average population. The proportion of oral cavity lesions is higher among diabetics of type 2 than among those of type 1. The combination of diabetes mellitus and smoking means an enhanced risk from the aspect of precancerosis of the oral cavity.
