Betel Quid can promote the malignant transformation of oral lesions as well as trigger benign cellular and molecular changes. In the oral cavity, it causes changes at the compositional level in oral microbiota called dysbiosis. This dysbiosis may play an important role in Oral Cancer in betel quid chewers. The abnormal presence and increase of bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum, Capnocytophaga gingivalis, Prevotella melaninogenica, Peptostreptococcus sp., Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Streptococcus mitis in saliva and\/or other oral sites of the cancer patients has attracted frequent attention for its association with oral cancer development. In the present review, the authors have analysed the literature reports to revisit the oncogenic potential of betel quid and oral microbiome alterations, evaluating the potential of oral microbiota both as a driver and biomarker of oral cancer. The authors have also shared a perspective that the restoration of local microbiota can become a potentially therapeutic or prophylactic strategy for the delay or reversal of lip and oral cavity cancers, especially in high-risk population groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens12080996","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T03:30:02Z","timestamp":1690774202000},"page":"996","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Evaluating Alterations of the Oral Microbiome and Its Link to Oral Cancer among Betel Quid Chewers: Prospecting Reversal through Probiotic Intervention"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6009-8105","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prerna","family":"Diwan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Ram Lal Anand College, University of Delhi, New Delhi 110021, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1190-8789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohit","family":"Nirwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Ram Lal Anand College, University of Delhi, New Delhi 110021, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1344-5511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayank","family":"Bahuguna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Ram Lal Anand College, University of Delhi, New Delhi 110021, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4142-4750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shashi Prabha","family":"Kumari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Ram Lal Anand College, University of Delhi, New Delhi 110021, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4871-215X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James","family":"Wahlang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, St. Edmund\u2019s College, Shillong 793003, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rakesh Kumar","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Ram Lal Anand College, University of Delhi, New Delhi 110021, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21660","article-title":"Global Cancer Statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries","volume":"71","author":"Sung","year":"2021","journal-title":"CA.
