ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Social determinants may be associated with the onset and progression of the clinical stage of oral cancer.AIM:
To evaluate the impact of socio-demographic characteristics on the prevalence of advanced clinical stage of oral cancer. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Information about 51,116 cases of oral cancer, from all Brazilian states, between 2000 and 2012, was obtained from the Cancer Registry Information System. The clinical stage of oral cancer (dependent variable) was classified as initial (stages I and II) or advanced (stages III and IV). The relationship between the clinical stage of oral cancer and the following independent variables was analyzed sex, age, schooling, marital status, family history of cancer, and origin of referral. Analyses on frequency distribution and multivariate binary logistic regression model were performed (alfa < 0.05).RESULTS:
Compared to individuals with no schooling, those who attended elementary to high school (OR = 2.461) and college education (OR = 3.050) had a higher prevalence of advanced cases of oral cancer. Individuals without a partner (OR = 14,209) demonstrated a higher prevalence compared to married individuals. Subjects aged 20-44 years (OR = 4.081) and 45-64 years (OR = 14.875) had a higher prevalence compared to those aged 15-19 years. The variables gender, family history of cancer and origin of referral integrated the binary model of logistic regression, but did not present statistical significance.CONCLUSIONS:
Socioeconomic factors may be related to the advanced clinical stage of oral cancerRESUMEN
