RESUMO
INTRODUCCIÓN: El cáncer es una enfermedad que afecta a un gran número de personas a nivel mundial y que genera una gran tasa de mortalidad. El cáncer oral y orofaríngeo es considerado un problema de salud pública, especialmente en países de bajos y medianos ingresos. Para el año 2023, se estima que 11.580 personas morirán en Estados Unidos por esta causa. OBJETIVO: Determinar la variación en la mortalidad por cáncer oral y orofaríngeo en Chile, entre 1955-2021. METODOLOGÍA ESTUDIO EPIDEMIOLÓGICO: Los datos de mortalidad que se utilizaron fueron obtenidos desde instituciones como INE y DEIS a través de los registros de defunción del país, clasificados según género. Las tasas brutas de mortalidad para cada año de estudio fueron calculadas a partir de los datos de mortalidad y datos de población entregados por las instituciones. RESULTADOS: Las tasas brutas de mortalidad entre los años de estudio oscilaron de un 0,92 a 1,53. los hombres obtuvieron una tasa promedio de 1,64 por 100.000 habitantes y las mujeres una tasa promedio de 0,67 por 100.000 habitantes. CONCLUSIÓN: La tasa bruta de mortalidad por cáncer oral y orofaríngeo en Chile fue en aumento entre los años 1955 y 2021 tanto en hombres como en mujeres.
INTRODUCTION: Cancer is a disease that affects a large number of people worldwide and generates a high mortality rate. Oral and oropharyngeal cancer is considered a public health problem, especially in low- and middle-income countries. By the year 2023, it is estimated that 11,580 people will die in the United States from this cause. OBJECTIVE: Determine the variation in mortality from oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Chile between 1955 and 2021. METHODS: The mortality data was obtained from institutions such as the National Institute of Statistics and the Chile Ministry of Health through the country's death registries, which were classified by gender. Crude mortality rates for each year of the study were calculated from the institutions' mortality data and population data. RESULTS: Crude mortality rates between study years ranged from 0.92 to 1.53. men obtained an average rate of 1.64 per 100,000 inhabitants, and women obtained an average rate of 0.67 per 100,000 inhabitants. CONCLUSION: The crude mortality rate from oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Chile increased between 1955 and 2021 in both men and women.
