Background/Objectives: Oral cavity cancer, a subtype of head and neck cancer, is one of the most common malignancies globally. This study assessed the influence of health system affiliation and pain manifestation on the risk of advanced oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) in a Latin American population. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed medical records from 2015 to 2016, including data from the past 19 years, of 233 patients with OCSCC treated at a public hospital in Medellín, Colombia. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were evaluated, and multivariate regression models incorporated variables significant in bivariate analysis. Results: Among 233 patients, 196 (84.1%) had advanced OCSCC. The sample had a mean age of 63 ± 13 years, 53.6% were male, and 64% came from urban areas with predominantly low socioeconomic levels. Men showed a threefold increased risk of advanced OCSCC (95% CI: 1.3–6.8), while patients referred to pain clinics exhibited a 19.5 times higher risk (95% CI: 2.3–159.5). Patients in the subsidized health system or without health insurance had 2.6 (95% CI: 1.07–6.3) and 2.7 times (95% CI: 1.17–6.4) higher risks, respectively. Conclusions: This study found that male patients, referrals to pain clinics, and subsidized or no health system affiliation significantly increased the risk of advanced OCSCC.

In Taiwan, oral cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in men. The complications and side effects of oral cancer treatment pose a considerable challenge to family caregivers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the self-efficacy of the primary family caregivers of patients with oral cancer at home. A cross-sectional descriptive research design and convenience recruiting were adopted to facilitate sampling, and 107 patients with oral cancer and their primary family caregivers were recruited. The Caregiver Caregiving Self-Efficacy Scale-Oral Cancer was selected as the main instrument to be used. The primary family caregivers’ mean overall self-efficacy score was 6.87 (SD = 1.65). Among all the dimensions, managing patient-related nutritional issues demonstrated the highest mean score (mean = 7.56, SD = 1.83), followed by exploring and making decisions about patient care (mean = 7.05, SD = 1.92), acquiring resources (mean = 6.89, SD = 1.80), and managing sudden and uncertain patient conditions (mean = 6.17, SD = 2.09). Our results may assist professional medical personnel to focus their educational strategies and caregiver self-efficacy enhancement strategies on the dimensions that scored relatively low.
