Abstract

Oral cancer still has a poor prognosis, which has barely improved in recent decades. With the aim of identifying factors related to prognosis, we designed this retrospective study, including 243 patients with oral cancer diagnosed in Galicia in 2010-2015. Two thirds of the patients were men, with an average age of 67 years, and more than half were diagnosed in advanced stages. Cervical node metastasis, invasion of surgical margins and tobacco and alcohol consumption were the most important prognostic factors. It is necessary to establish general sociosanitary awareness campaigns and specific training of health professionals in the field of oral cancer, to achieve early diagnosis and improve its prognosis.
