The referral pattern, patients' and doctors' delay of a limited number of 50 patients suffering from oral squamous cell carcinoma have been investigated. The majority of the patients consulted the family doctor as the first source of help. The mean patients' and doctors' delay was 103 and 22 days, respectively the median being 35 and 11 days, respectively. The gender, dental status, site and tumour size did not show a significant correlation with the delay. Measures directed to the early detection of oral cancer should place special emphasis on the patients' delay.
对50例口腔鳞状细胞癌患者的转诊模式、患者及医生的延误情况进行了调查。大多数患者首先向家庭医生咨询以寻求帮助。患者和医生的平均延误时间分别为103天和22天，中位数分别为35天和11天。性别、牙齿状况、肿瘤部位和大小与延误时间均无显著相关性。针对口腔癌早期检测的措施应特别关注患者的延误情况。
