The efficacy of vitamin A in the prevention of oral cavity cancer has been studied during the last years due to the interest for a possible application of new drugs in the treatment of second primary tumours and multiple neoplasms. Fifty patients with oral precancerous lesions treated at the "Centre for prevention of oral cavity cancer" of the "Regina Elena" Institute in Rome, have been subjected to a rigorous questionnaire about their use of vitamin A in the diet. Moreover a standard sample of fifty healthy people without oral cavity lesions.
