Resumen
DE MATOS AMORIM, Marília et al. Survival of young adults with oral squamous cell carcinoma in a brazilian population. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.5, pp.534-540. Epub 12-Dic-2020. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v21n5.76193.
Objective
To analyze the profile and survival in young adults with oral squamous cell carcinoma, attended at the High Complexity in Oncology of Feira de Santana, Brazil, between 2010 and 2016.
Methods
Retrospective cohort, performed through the information of the medical records of all young patients attended in the referred center. Descriptive analysis of the variables, Fisher's exact test, Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank test were performed.
Results
A total of 35 patients were registered. The majority were male, smokers and former alcoholics. Tumors were predominantly localized in the tongue, diagnosed at late stages, classified as well differentiated and treated mainly with surgery associated to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The median survival time was 31 months and 22.8% of the patients died. The variables that presented statistical significance in relation to the survival time were the tumor site and the type of treatment.
Conclusion
The profile and low survival time reflect the need for greater attention to the disease in this population.
