This study shows a persistent trend of an increase in the incidence of carcinoma of the tongue into the twenty-first century for both sexes and all age groups except for young males.
During the last decades increased incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue in young adults has been reported. We previously showed an increased incidence in SCC of the tongue in Scandinavia in 1960-1994, most pronounced in patients aged 20-39 years. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the trend of increased incidence of tongue cancer continued into the twenty-first century in a population-based study in the Nordic countries.
Data for all reported SCCs of the tongue and base of tongue in patients aged 20-79 years during 1960-2008 were extracted from the NORDCAN registry, based on the National Cancer registries in the Nordic countries. Data from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland were analyzed. The age groups 20-39, 40-64, and 65-79 years were studied separately as well as male and female figures.
In all, 12 280 cases were reported, of which 673 were diagnosed in patients aged 20-39 years. The trend of an increase persisted after 1994 in both sexes and all three age groups except in young males.
本研究表明，进入21世纪，除年轻男性外，男女各年龄组舌癌发病率均呈持续上升趋势。
在过去几十年中，有报道称年轻成年人舌鳞状细胞癌（SCC）发病率上升。我们之前发现，1960年至1994年斯堪的纳维亚半岛舌SCC发病率上升，在20至39岁患者中最为明显。本研究旨在通过一项基于北欧国家人群的研究，调查舌癌发病率上升趋势在21世纪是否持续。
从基于北欧国家国家癌症登记处的NORDCAN登记处提取1960年至2008年期间20至79岁患者所有报告的舌和舌根SCC数据。对瑞典、挪威、芬兰、丹麦和冰岛的数据进行分析。分别研究了20至39岁、40至64岁和65至79岁年龄组以及男性和女性的数据。
共报告12280例病例，其中673例诊断为20至39岁患者。1994年后，除年轻男性外，男女及所有三个年龄组发病率上升趋势持续。
