Systematic review of the epidemiology of oral cancer in Brazil

Abstract: Considering the role of epidemiological information in planning and effective interventions, the purpose of this study was to systematically review the epidemiology of squamous cell carcinoma in Brazil. We searched the PubMed, LILACS, BBO and Cochrane databases using keywords "oral squamous cell carcinoma", "oral squamous cell carcinoma", "oral squamous cell carcinoma" and their equivalents in English and Spanish, in combination with epidemiology, prevalence, frequency, and Brazil by 2018, excluding studies th… Show more

“…training, linked to patient guidance, are seen as the best ways to reduce the incidence and morbidity and mortality of the disease. [17] The main cancerous lesions described in the literature are: leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and actinic cheilitis and lichen planus, the latter of which has its malignant potential still unclear and for some studies there is no relationship with oral cancer. They consist of changes in the epithelium lining the oral cavity, with leukoplakia being the most frequent lesion [17] Oral leukoplakia clinically presents characteristics that define it as a white plaque adhered to the mucosa that is not removed by scraping, and cannot be diagnosed clinically or histopathologically like any other lesion.…”

“…Information about these factors forms the basis for effective disease prevention, 20 which needs to target the young, the elderly, and the less educated. [17] Self-examination is extremely important in this process, considering that the lack of knowledge of people and professionals causes a delay in diagnosis, inducing more invasive approaches resulting in an unfavorable prognosis [15] As the incidence of oral cancer has increased in recent times, it becomes relevant that health professionals are prepared to recognize the lesion and trained to identify the risk factors for the disease, seeking to develop prevention and early detection activities.…”

Esta atividade requer uma exposição excessiva ou de longo prazo à radiação solar, o que, na maioria dos casos, ocorre sem o uso de proteção contra a luz solar (PARAGUASSU et al, 2019).…”
