Keywords:
mouth neoplasms, potentially malignant disorders, prevention campaigAbstract
Background: mouth neoplasms (MN) has a high mortality rate. For this reason, preventive campaigns have been developed.
Objective: to determine the epidemiological and clinical-pathological features of the patients evaluated in prevention oral cancer campaigns in Mendoza along 5 years.
Design: descriptive, retrospective, observational and cross sectional study.
Methods: patients evaluated in the MN campaigns that were performed in Mendoza from 2013 to 2017 were collected. The variables studied were: age, sex, risk factors (trauma, tobacco and alcoholism), injury and localization. The analysis was performed with Graph Pad Instat 3 and EpiInfo 7 software. Measures of central tendency, dispersion and cross product ratio (OR) were used.
Results: data were obtained from 4486 patients. 64.48% were women (2893 patients) and the mean age was 46.73 years (± 19.6 years). Pathological findings were detected in 43.91% (1970 patients). Of these, 0.41% corresponded to MN. The predominant tumor was squamous cell carcinoma and the most common localization was the tongue. 23.05% (454 patients) were potentially malignant lesion (PML). Leukoplakia was the predominant lesion and jugal mucosa the most affected site. There was a predominance of alcoholism, smoking and trauma in patients with MN or PML, with an OR of 1.41, 1.18 and 5.12 respectively.
Conclusions: our study coincided with the types of MN and PML, the localization and the main risk factors (tobacco and alcoholism) found. A higher proportion of associated trauma was observed.
