[Betel quid and oral cancer: case report].
Betel quid chewing is a major cause of oral cancers in Asia. Practitioners must be able to recognize premalignant lesions. Cessation of betel quid use and preventive treatment must be recommended. Primary prevention will be difficult because of the traditional nature and commercial importance of this old habit.
