ABSTRACT
The prevalence rate of 749 cases of oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) recorded between 1978-1984 was studied. Results showed that the Indians formed the dominant group (63.8%) followed by the Malays (19.6%) and Chinese (16.6%). The peak incidences were generally located between the sixth and eighth decades. Only in the Chinese group a male preponderance was noted. In the Indians, the buccal mucosa was the most prevalent site; in the Malays and Chinese males, the gingiva and alveolus; and the Chinese female, the tongue. In all three groups, the well-differentiated SCC was the commonest type and the poorly differentiated least common.
