Olina kookolo mu bbwa? (Jaw Cancer) Totya, ka twogere ku nsonga eno!

Wali weebuuzizzaako oba oyinza okufuna kookolo w’akawanga? Oyinza okuba nga weetegereza akazimba akatono oba ekiwundu ekitajja kuwona mu kamwa oba mu bbwa n’owulira ng’otya katono. Kookolo w’akawanga mu butuufu mbeera etali ya bulijjo, naye kikulu okugimanya. Kubanga, singa kizuulibwa nga bukyali, waliwo omukisa omulungi nti embeera eno esobola okujjanjabibwa obulungi. Kale, ka twogere ku kookolo w’akawanga mu bujjuvu leero, nedda?

Kookolo w’Embazzi kye ki?

Mu ngeri ennyangu, kookolo w’akawanga kika kya kookolo ekitali kya bulijjo nnyo era abeera mu kamwa. Singa abasawo basanga kookolo mu bbwa, atera okutandikira awalala mu kamwa. Ng’ekyokulabirako, kiyinza okutandikira awalala mu lulimi lwo, mu nnywanto z’amalusu oba mu kamwa, n’oluvannyuma ne kibuna okutuuka ku bbwa.

Wabula si bulijjo nnyo, ebizimba ebibi bisobola okutandika munda mu ggumba lyo ery’akawanga. Oba ziyinza okutandikira mu bitundu ebikola amannyo (`(odontogenic tissue)`). Ebizimba bino ebibi tebiringa bizimba bya bulijjo ebitali bya bulabe by’olaba. Ziyinza okusaasaana ebweru w’akamwa ko okutuuka mu bitundu by’omubiri gwo ebirala.

Eno y’ensonga lwaki kikulu okugenda ew’omusawo mu bwangu bw’oba ​​olowooza nti olina obubonero bwa kookolo w’akawanga. Ebika bya kookolo ebimu bisobola okuwona ddala singa azuulibwa nga bukyali ne bamulongoosa.

Waliwo ebika bya kookolo w’akawanga?

Yee, waliwo ebika bya kookolo w’omu kamwa eby’enjawulo. Ziyitibwa kookolo, sarcomas ne carcinosarcomas. Amannya gano gategeeza ekika ky’ebitundu obutoffaali bwa kookolo mwe butandikira. Kookolo w’omu kamwa asinga omuli n’abo abakwata akawanga, wa kika ekiyitibwa squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). SCC zino zitandikira mu bitundu ebibikka kungulu w’omubiri omuli n’akamwa. Zikola ebitundu 90% ku kookolo w’omu kamwa.

Bino bye bimu ku bika bya kookolo w’akawanga ebisinga okubeerawo:

• Ameloblastic Carcinoma: Kino kiva mu bitundu ebikola enamel y’amannyo go. Businga kukula mu bbwa erya wansi, okumpi n’amannyo ag’emabega. Kiyinza okubaawo kyokka, oba si bulijjo, kiyinza okukula ne kifuuka ameloblastoma etali ya bulabe ekifuuka kookolo.
• Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma: Kino kitera okubaawo mu bbwa erya wansi. Erinnya lyayo lirina okuva ku ngeri obutoffaali bwayo gye bulabika mu microscope.
• Ghost Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma: Kino kika kya kookolo ekitali kya bulijjo nnyo. Abantu 50 bokka be baakakwatibwa mu kunoonyereza ku by’obujjanjabi. Kiyinza okubaawo kyokka, oba okuva ku kizimba mu bbwa ekifuuka ekirungo kya kalisi ne kifuuka kookolo.
• Osteosarcoma: Kino kiva ku magumba gennyini. Osteosarcoma etera okuva mu magumba amawanvu ng’eggumba ly’ekisambi. Tekitera kutandikira mu ggumba ly’akawanga.
• Primary Intraosseous Carcinoma: Ono atera okubeera emabega w’akawanga aka wansi. Kiyinza okubaawo kyokka oba nga kiva ku kukula okutali kwa kookolo okufuuka kookolo. Wadde nga gukula mu ggumba ly’akawanga, gukolebwa ebika by’obutoffaali bye bimu ne kookolo.
• Sclerosing Odontogenic Carcinoma: Kino nakyo tekitera kubaawo nnyo. Abantu 15 bokka be baakakwatibwa mu kunoonyereza ku by’obujjanjabi.

Kati oyinza okulowooza nti amannya gano gazibu katono. Ekyo kituufu, gano mannya ga njawulo abasawo ge bakozesa. Ekisinga obukulu gy’oli kwe kulaba omusawo singa olaba ekintu kyonna ekitali kya bulijjo.

Kookolo w’omumwa gwa nnabaana atera kwenkana wa?

Mu butuufu, kookolo w’akawanga tatera nnyo . Ebitundu 4.5% byokka ku kookolo yenna ow’obutoffaali obuyitibwa squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) mu nsi yonna abeera mu mutwe n’ensingo. Ne mu kiseera ekyo, tekitera kutandikira mu bbwa. Okusinga ekizimba ky’olaba ku bbwa oba okumpi n’amannyo kitera okuba nga tekirina bulabe.

Wabula kirungi ekizimba kyonna ekipya omusawo akikebere. Mu ngeri eyo, osobola okuzuulibwa obulungi.

Bubonero ki obulaga kookolo w’omumwa gwa nnabaana?

Mu biseera ebisooka, tewabaawo bubonero bungi. Naye ekizimba bwe kikula, oyinza okulaba enkyukakyuka. Ebizimba ebisinga bikula mu bbwa erya wansi (Mandible), naye era bisobola okukula mu bbwa erya waggulu (Maxilla).

Obubonero bwa kookolo w’akawanga buyinza okuli:

• Ekizimba oba okuzimba mu bbwa (kiyinza okuluma oba obutalumwa).
• Amabwa mu kamwa, galuma, tegawona, gavaamu omusaayi mangu.
• Ebitundu ebimyufu oba ebyeru mu kamwa ebitagenda kuggwaawo.
• Okukaluubirirwa okumira (Dysphagia).
• Obuzibu okuggulawo akamwa.
• Enkyukakyuka mu ndabika yo mu maaso.
• Okuwulira ng’amannyo go gatambula, oba amannyo go gasumuluddwa.
• Enkyukakyuka mu ngeri amannyo gye gakwataganamu (okuluma).
• Omusujja.

Teebereza, bw’oba ​​osenya amannyo, amangu ago ofuna akazimba akatono ku bbwa. Mu kusooka, oyinza okukibuusa amaaso. Naye bwe kiba nga kikyaliwo oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ntono, oba bwe kiba nga kirabika kyeyongera obunene, mazima ddala wandibadde olaba omusawo.

Lwaki kookolo w’akawanga abaawo?

Engeri obutoffaali bw'omubiri gwaffe gye bukulamu n'okwawukana efugibwa ebiragiro ebiri mu `DNA`. Enkyukakyuka mu `DNA` eno bwe zibaawo (`Genetic Mutations`), obuzibu busobola okubaawo mu ngeri obutoffaali gye bukolamu. Ebizibu ku koodi mu `DNA` eno bisobola okuleetera obutoffaali okukola mu ngeri etaali ya bulijjo ne bikola ebizimba. Bannasayansi bakyanoonyereza ku nkyukakyuka za `DNA` ezireeta ebika by'ebizimba eby'enjawulo ebikwatagana ne kookolo ono ow'akawanga.

Oluusi, ekizimba ekitali kya kookolo (benign) ku bbwa kiyinza okufuuka ekizimba kya kookolo (malignant), ne kireeta kookolo w’akawanga. Naye ebiseera ebisinga, ebizimba ebitali bya kookolo ku bbwa bisigala nga bwe biri era tebifuuka kookolo.

Omusawo asobola okukulondoola okukula okutali kwa kookolo ekiyinza okuba eky’obulabe eri kookolo w’akawanga.

Ani ali mu bulabe obw’amaanyi obw’okukwatibwa kookolo w’akawanga?

Ensonga zino ziyinza okwongera ku bulabe bw’okufuna kookolo w’akawanga:

• Emyaka: Kookolo w’akawanga asinga kukwatibwa mu bantu abasukka mu myaka 55.
• Ekikula ky’omuntu: Abasajja bali mu bulabe bwa maanyi.
• Okukozesa taaba: Okunywa taaba kye kisinga okuleeta kookolo w’omu kamwa . Taaba alimu eddagala erisoba mu 60 erireeta kookolo (carcinogens). Okussa omukka ogw’okukozesa nakyo kyongera ku bulabe.
• Okunywa omwenge: Okunywa omwenge ekisusse kisinga okuleeta kookolo w’omutwe n’ensingo. Okunywa taaba n’okunywa omwenge omungi bwe bigattibwa awamu, kyongera emikisa gy’okukwatibwa kookolo w’omu kamwa emirundi nga 30. N’olwekyo, bw’oba ​​onywa ssigala, kyetaagisa okulekera awo n’okussa ekkomo ku kunywa omwenge.
• Obulwadde bwa HPV: Ebika by’akawuka akaleeta kookolo aka human papillomavirus (HPV) naddala HPV-16 byongera ku bulabe bwo. Kookolo w’omu kamwa eyeekuusa ku HPV kati yeeyongedde.
• Okukamula entangawuuzi: Entangawuuzi za betel zirimu ebirungo ebitta kkansa. Okukamula betel nut nnono ya buwangwa mu bitundu ebimu ebya Asia. Kyokka kyongera obulabe bwa kookolo w’omu kamwa.
• Okubeera n’ebyafaayo by’amaka ga kookolo w’omu kamwa: Singa omuntu mu maka go ag’okumpi (e.g., omuzadde, omwana, muganda wo) aba alina kookolo w’omu kamwa, era oyinza okuba mu bulabe obw’amaanyi.

Omusawo azuula atya kookolo w’akawanga?

Omusawo ajja kusooka kukukebera mu mubiri okukebera oba waliwo ebizimba oba ebizimba ebipya. Bajja kwetegereza ebyafaayo byo eby’obujjanjabi era bakubuuze ku bubonero bwo. Era bayinza okukola okukebera omusaayi okukebera ebintu mu musaayi gwo ebikwatagana ne kookolo (`tumor markers').

Okukebera ebifaananyi kukozesebwa okutunuulira ebizimba ebiri munda mu mubiri. Mu bino mulimu:

• Ebifaananyi bya X-ray
• `Okukuba ebifaananyi mu ngeri ya magineeti (MRI)`
• `Ssikani y'okukebera ebifaananyi mu kompyuta (CT Scan)`

Okugatta ku ekyo, kiyinza okwetaagisa okukeberebwa omubiri. Kino kizingiramu okuggya akatundu akatono mu kizimba n’akasindika mu laabu okulaba oba waliwo obutoffaali bwa kookolo. Okukebera omubiri (biopsy) nakyo kisobola okumanya sipiidi kookolo w’akawanga gy’asaasaana.

Bujjanjabi ki obujjanjaba kookolo w’omumwa gwa nnabaana?

Abantu abasinga abalina kookolo w’akawanga bajja kwetaaga okulongoosebwa okuggyamu ekizimba. Oluusi, era kiyinza okwetaagisa okulongoosebwa okuggyamu akawanga oba ebitundu ebyetoolodde akawanga. Ebika by’okulongoosa ebikozesebwa okujjanjaba kookolo w’akawanga mulimu:

• Mandibulectomy: Okuggyawo ekitundu ky’eggumba ly’akawanga erya wansi. Singa akatundu akatono kaggyibwamu, kayitibwa partial mandibulectomy. Singa ekitundu ekinene kiggyibwamu, kiyitibwa segmental mandibulectomy.
• Maxillectomy: Okuggyawo eggumba ly’akawanga erya waggulu lyonna oba ekitundu.

Omusawo wo ajja kugezaako okuggyamu ebitundu bingi nga bwe kisoboka okuggyawo kookolo ddala, ate n’alekawo ebitundu ebimu ebiramu. Naye mu mbeera ezimu, okulongoosebwa kuyinza okukyusa endabika yo. Naye waliwo obujjanjabi obuyinza okuyamba ku ekyo nakyo. Omusawo ayinza okukuwa amagezi okulongoosebwa okuddamu okuzimba akawanga, oba okuteekebwamu amannyo okudda mu kifo ky’amannyo agaggiddwawo ng’olongooseddwa.

Okusinziira ku kika kya kookolo w’akawanga, oyinza n’okwetaaga obujjanjabi obulala obwa kookolo. Mu bino biyinza okuli:

• Radiation Therapy: Kino kizingiramu okukozesa ekyuma okutuusa emisinde egy’amaanyi amangi okukendeeza ku bizimba. Obujjanjabi bw’amasannyalaze (radiation therapy) buyinza okuweebwa ng’obujjanjabi obukulu singa oba tolina mulamu bulungi okusobola okulongoosebwa. Oba, obujjanjabi obw’amasannyalaze buyinza okuweebwa okutta obutoffaali bwa kookolo bwonna obusigaddewo oluvannyuma lw’okulongoosebwa.
• Chemotherapy: Kino kizingiramu okukozesa eddagala okutta obutoffaali bwa kookolo. Obujjanjabi bwa ddagala si bujjanjabi bwa kookolo w’akawanga, naye busobola okuweebwa awamu n’obujjanjabi obw’amasannyalaze oluvannyuma lw’okulongoosebwa.
• Palliative Care: Kino kiyamba okufuga obubonero n’ebizibu ebiva mu bujjanjabi bwa kookolo. Obulabirizi obukkakkanya obulumi busobola okuyamba abantu abalina endowooza ennungi, awamu n‟abo abafuna obujjanjabi mu ddwaaliro ly‟abalwadde abayi. Bw’oba ​​olowooza nti oyinza okuganyulwa mu bujjanjabi obw’okukkakkanya obulumi, buuza omusawo wo.

Kiki ekibaawo singa oba olina kookolo w’akawanga?

Mu kiseera kino, omuwendo gw’abantu abawangaala emyaka etaano ku kookolo yenna ow’omu kamwa, omuli ne kookolo w’akawanga, guli nga 68%. Naye okuteebereza kwo kusinziira ku kika kya kookolo w’akawanga. Ebika ebimu eby’ebizimba bya kookolo ebitandikira mu ggumba ly’akawanga, gamba nga osteosarcoma ne primary intraosseous carcinoma, bikula mangu. Naye ebika ebirala bikula mpola. Singa obulwadde buno buzuulibwa nga bukyali ne bujjanjabwa, busobola okuwona nga tebunnasaasaana.

Ebizimba by’akawanga bingi ebya kookolo bisobola `okuddamu` oluvannyuma lw’okujjanjabwa. Omusawo wo ajja kukolagana naawe okuteekawo enteekateeka z'okugoberera okukuyamba okukuuma mu `remission`. Okujjanjaba ekizimba ku kabonero akasooka akalaga nti kizzeemu kiyinza okuyamba okukuuma kookolo w’akawanga ng’afuga.

Ddi lwe nnina okulaba omusawo?

Bw’oba ​​olina ebizimba ebipya, amabwa agatawona, oba ebitundu ebikalu mu kamwa ebitawona mu wiiki bbiri,Laba omusawo mu bwangu. Ebizimba ebipya bitera okuba akabonero k’embeera etali ya kookolo (benign), naye olina okulaba omusawo okumanya ekituufu.

Okugenda mu mannyo buli kiseera kyongera emikisa gy’okuzuula ekizimba nga bukyali, ng’obubonero tebunnalabika. Ebiseera ebisinga, ebizimba bisobola okuzuulibwa ku X-ray z’amannyo eza bulijjo. Singa zikwatibwa nga tezinnaba kusaasaana oba okuleeta obuzibu, olina emikisa mingi okufuna obujjanjabi obuyinza okukomya kookolo okusaasaana oba okumulemesa okusaasaana.

Bibuuzo ki by’osaanidde okubuuza omusawo?

Osobola okubuuza omusawo ebibuuzo nga bino:

• Nnina kookolo w’akawanga ow’ekika ki?
• Bikebere ki bye nneetaaga okukola okulaba oba bisaasaanidde?
• Bujjanjabi bwa ngeri ki bwe nneetaaga?
• Omukisa guli gutya ekizimba okuddayo oluvannyuma lw’okulongoosebwa?
• Nsaanidde kwerabirira ntya nga nteredde oluvannyuma lw’okulongoosebwa?

Bw’olaba ekizimba ekipya ku bbwa lyo, oba ng’olina obubonero obulala obwa kookolo w’akawanga, laba omusawo amangu ago. Abantu abasinga abalina ebizimba by’omu kamwa – ebibi n’ebitali bulungi – bajja kwetaaga okulongoosebwa okubiggyamu. Nga olina kookolo w’akawanga, oyinza okwetaaga obujjanjabi obulala, gamba ng’obujjanjabi obw’amasannyalaze, okukomya ekizimba obutadda. Omusawo ajja kukunnyonnyola obujjanjabi ki obusinga okukuyamba okusinziira ku kika ky’ekizimba ky’olina.

Ebintu ebikulu by’olina okujjukira (Take-Home Message)

Kale, nsuubira nti ofunye okutegeera okuva mu bye twogeddeko ku Jaw Cancer. Ekisinga obukulu okujjukira kiri nti:

• Okumanyisa: Kikulu okumanya obulwadde bwonna. Wadde nga kookolo w’akawanga tatera kubaawo, okumumanya kiyinza okukuyamba okumanya obubonero obw’akabi nga bukyali.
• Weewale ebintu ebiyinza okuleeta akabi: Weewale okukozesa taaba n’okunywa omwenge ekisusse , nga bino bye bisinga okuvaako kookolo w’omu kamwa.
• Tobuusa maaso bubonero: Bw’olaba ekintu kyonna ekitali kya bulijjo mu kamwa oba mu bbwa – ekizimba, ekiwundu ekitagenda kuwona, ekizimba – era nga kimaze wiiki ezisukka mu bbiri, mazima ddala laba omusawo.
• Okukeberebwa amannyo buli kiseera: Omusawo w’amannyo asobola okuzuula obuzibu bwonna nga bukyali.
• Totya, funa amagezi: Bw’oba ​​olina ky’obuusabuusa, yogerako n’omusawo ofune amagezi. Okuzuula amangu kye kisumuluzo ky’obujjanjabi obulungi.

Nga tubaagaliza obulamu obulungi mwenna!
