“…The youngest being 28 years and the eldest is 76 years. This is in accordance with Ganesh et al, 20 Bhardwaj et al 21 In the present study, 20 patients were in the age group of 31 to 40 years followed by 15 in the group of 51-60 years. The incidence of oral cancer in younger age group is increasing due to the habit of gutkha and pan masala chewing.…”

BACKGROUND Oral Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for most head and neck cancers. In India it is the 3 rd most common cancer and it is one of the major public health problems. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the epidemiologic profile of Oral Squamous cell carcinoma (OScc) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective descriptive study analysis of OScc cases analysed from December 2015 to July 2017 for age, gender, duration of the symptoms, duration of the habits (smoker, tobacco chewer and alcohol consumption), site of primary tumour, TNM staging, histological grading and the findings were formulated to chart the trends in North Chennai population. RESULTS A total number of 67 patients were diagnosed as OScc with the male-to-female ratio of 2.52: 1. The mean age of occurrence was 52 years with the youngest being 28 years. Buccal mucosa (44.8%) was the common site of occurrence. Areca nut chewing (37.31%) in various commercially available forms and tobacco chewing (37.31%) were the major risk habits associated with the development of OScc. Majority of them were in Stage III (44.8%) with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (46.26%). CONCLUSION Oral cancer is one of the major public health problems associated with risk habits. Therefore, oral health care professionals should create awareness among the public regarding the risk habits and its cessation. Prevention, early intervention and follow-up of the patients with OScc can increase the life span of the individual.

“…The is compared with other similar studies. [17,18] The results of the study for the presenting symptoms of SCC of the gingivobuccal complex can be compared with those of the study conducted by Sharma et al [19] This study found that the most common clinical symptom at presentation was oral ulcer (76%), pain at local site (43%) and swelling/ growth (33%). [19] In the present study, the most common substance abuse was tobacco use (in any form other than smoking; 70%) followed by alcohol abuse (63.33%) and smoking (33.33%).…”

BACKGROUND Head and neck cancers are among the 10 most frequent cancers and are the sixth most common cancers worldwide. Among these cancers, oral cavity in general and gingivobuccal complex in particular is prone to a myriad of changes with advancing age as well as a result of environmental and lifestyle-related factors.The objective of this study was to gain appreciation of the correlation of clinical presentation and habit patterns as well as to note the pathological differentiation and the TNM (Tumour, Node, Metastasis) classification of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of gingivobuccal complex in Punjab. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis prospective study was conducted on 30 patients of diagnosed cases of SCC of the gingivobuccal complex in the Department of ENT and Department of Pathology of Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India. The selected patients were those who reported a definitive history of ulcerative lesion of gingivobuccal complex. Detailed history of patients was taken and tumour data including site, subsite, grade and TNM stage were collected. RESULTSThe mean age of the patients was 52.53 ± 12.91 years. There were 83.33% male and 16.67% female patients. The most common presenting symptoms of SCC of gingivobuccal complex were ulceration, pain and mass in the oral cavity (in all cases) followed by trismus. The most common substance abuse observed was tobacco use. The most common subsite of SCC of gingivobuccal complex was buccal mucosa. The majority of the patients presented in stages I and III (26.67% each). SCC of the buccal mucosa was positively correlated with alcohol use, but the association was statistically non-significant (r= 0.01), but it was positively correlated with smoking and tobacco use (in other form) and the correlation was statistically significant (r= 0.553 and 0.517). CONCLUSIONSCC of the retromolar trigone was positively correlated with alcohol, smoking and tobacco use (in other form) and the correlation was statistically significant.

“…It was found that, in developing countries, there is a high percentage of patients with oral cancer belonging to less favored socioeconomic classes [25]. According to the authors, this finding is clearly associated with the difficulties in accessing health systems, possibly incurring advanced clinical stages.…”

Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer treated at a referral hospital in Salvador, Brazil. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Aristides Maltez Hospital (HAM), analyzing the medical records of patients treated between 2008 and 2015. Of the 722 medical records analyzed, 154 were included, considering the following variables: gender, age, occupation and educational level; type of lesion of the mouth/oropharynx cancer, its location and stage. The data were presented using descriptive statistics. Results: There was a greater occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma (88.3%), with a higher prevalence for males (72.73) and age between 60-69 years (42%), with a predominance of farmers (38.31%). As for the educational level, 59% had only completed elementary school. The most common location for cancer was the tongue, 25.15% of the cases, and the professional responsible for the diagnosis was predominantly a doctor (94%). Prevalence of T3 and T4 size tumors (53.25%). Conclusion: Patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer are mostly male, older than 60 years, with low educational level, and working as farmers. The most common location was the tongue, and T3 and T4 tumors were predominant.
