Hospitalization, indicators of morbidity and mortality, oral neoplasms.Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the morbidity and hospital mortality of malignant neoplasms of the lip, oral cavity and pharynx in Brazil (from 2016 to 2021). This is an epidemiological, observational, analytical and cross-sectional study of notifications of malignant neoplasms, using information from DATASUS (Brazilian Public Health Service Database) and analyzed using descriptive statistics. A total of 150,025 reports of malignant neoplasms of the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx in Brazil from 2016 to 2021 were analyzed. In 2016, the national rate of malignant neoplasms of the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx was 12.43 per 100,000 inhabitants, decreasing to 10.25 in 2021. Among the regions of the country, the highest rates were found in the South region, ranging from 19.35 in 2016 to 16.40 in 2021. As for the characteristics of hospitalizations, the highest incidence was noted for males (73.76%), the age group was between 50 and 64 years (45.56%), and the race/color was white (43%). Considering the patients hospitalized in the period, 18,185 died, representing a lethality rate of 12.12%. In Brazil, the incidence of oral cancer in the analyzed period differed among the regions. Although the number of hospitalizations for malignant neoplasms of the lip, oral cavity and pharynx remains high, there was a decrease in the period analyzed, with a downward trend in hospitalizations for oral cancer, increasingly emphasizing the need for early action, such as prevention, diagnosis and treatment by dental professionals, as well as public policies to prevent this disease.
