Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in patients who received dental care at the Stomatology Service of Hospital Metropolitano Odilon Behrens (HMOB) in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, from May 2012 to May 2014.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional, epidemiological study based on the retrospective and descriptive analysis of the medical records of patients who received dental care at the HMOB Stomatology Service, using a quantitative data approach.
Results: This study evaluated 139 medical records of patients diagnosed with SCC. Regarding the age of the diagnosed patients, a higher incidence was observed around the fifth and sixth decades of life. Regarding gender, males were the most affected in all age groups. Regarding the main risk factors, 60 patients (75.94%) reported being smokers and drinkers. The classification of patients in relation to daily tobacco consumption, 33 (50%) were considered severe smokers (more than 20 cigarettes/day). Regarding the size of the lesions, a large portion of the patient (49 patients = 48.51%) diagnosed with oral cavity SCC presented lesions measuring 30 to 60 mm. In the distribution of patients according to gender and anatomical location, the tongue was the most commonly affected site (43 patients = 32.82 %), followed by the floor of the mouth (34 patients = 29.95%) in both genders.
Conclusion: This unprecedented study showed the epidemiological profile of patients diagnosed with oral cavity cancer in the HMOB Stomatology Service, a reference hospital in the Belo Horizonte region. It was observed that there was a preponderance of male patients, who are 50 years of age or older and who frequently use of tobacco and/or alcohol.
