Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the frequency of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in relation to oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and understand the epidemiological profile in Latin America.
- A total of 2705 OSCC cases were analyzed, revealing a mean age of 62.8 years, with a higher prevalence among men, smokers, and drinkers, and the lateral tongue being the most affected area.
- The findings indicate that most cases were OSCC-de novo (81.4%), highlighting regional variations in OPMD, with leukoplakia being the most common, and suggest the need for additional studies to further explore this phenomenon.
Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multifactorial disease. The individual effect of each risk factor for OSCC may be conditioned by the frequency of other factors. The objective of this study was to identify the association between chronic mechanical irritation (CMI) and OSCC and to analyse the influence of CMI on other important risk factors for OSCC.
