Abstract

Introduction: The oral region is one of the ten most frequent locations of cancer incidence in the world. Its study in the environment is relevant to improve its prevention and cure, and to avoid aesthetic and functional affectations of the maxillofacial region.

Objective: To identify the distribution of morbidity and mortality per year of oral cancer in the territory of Cárdenas.

Methods: A 20-year retrospective descriptive study was carried out in patients with a histopathological diagnosis of oral cancer, treated at the General Teaching Hospital Julio M. Aristegui Villamil, in Cárdenas, in the period between January 2000 and December 2019.

Results: An increase in patients was observed when the morbidity rate rose from 5.8 x 100,000 inhabitants in 2000 to 16.3 in 2019, and mortality from 3.9 in 2001 to 8.9 in 2019. There was a higher incidence in the age group of 51-60 years, both in morbidity and mortality, male sex, white skin color, lower lip in morbidity, and mobile tongue and base mortality. The risk factors with the highest values were smoking and alcoholism.

Conclusions: oral cancer has a tendency to increase in the studied territory, in morbidity and mortality, as well as mortality at the national level. It is necessary to carry out health promotion activities as well as to detect it early through the research in the field visit.
