ABSTRACT

Objective:

In this paper, we describe the results of an oral cancer prevention campaign for early detecting and diagnosing oral cancer and potentially malignant disorder. Subjects and

method:

The population screening was performed in one day in which population was recruited by local mass media communication means. Patients with suspicious lesions were referred for final diagnosis with a specialist in oral medicine and pathology.

Results:

Of 1.282 patients screened, 104 were referred for specialized care and 94 attended for final diagnosis. Of those, only one (1.06%) patient was diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma and 25 (26.5%) with oral potentially malignant disorders, while the diagnosis rates for benign conditions and normality variations were, respectively, 78.7% and 32.9%.

Conclusion:

These results suggest low awareness regarding oral cancer within this population, flaws in the knowledge regarding oral cancer by dentists, and the need for improvements in the access to the at-risk population for oral cancer.(AU)
RESUMO

Objetivo:

neste artigo, descrevemos os resultados de uma campanha de prevenção do câncer de boca para detectar e diagnosticar precocemente câncer de boca e lesões bucais potencialmente maligniziveis. Sujeitos e

método:

uma triagem populacional foi realizada em um dia em que a população foi recrutada por meios de comunicação de mídia local. Pacientes com lesões suspeitas foram encaminhados para diagnóstico final com especialista em Estomatologia e Patologia Bucal.

Resultados:

dos 1.282 pacientes selecionados, 104 foram encaminhados para atendimento especializado e 94 atendidos para diagnóstico final. Desses, apenas um (1,06%) paciente foi diagnosticado com carcinoma espinocelular de boca e 25 (26,5%) com lesões bucais potencialmente maligniziveis, enquanto as taxas de diagnóstico para condições benignas e variações de normalidade foram, respectivamente, 78,7% e 32,9%.

Conclusão:

esses resultados sugerem baixa conscientização sobre o câncer bucal nessa população, falta conhecimento sobre o câncer bucal por dentistas e a necessidade de melhorias no acesso à população em risco de câncer bucal.(AU)
