The purpose of the present study was to describe the survival of patients diagnosed with oral cavity cancer in Germany. The analyses relied on data from eleven population-based cancer registries in Germany covering a population of 33 million inhabitants. Patients with a diagnosis of oral cavity cancer (ICD-10: C00-06) between 1997 and 2006 are included. Period analysis for 2002-2006 was applied to estimate five-year age-standardized relative survival, taking into account patients' sex as well as grade and tumor stage. Overall five-year relative survival for oral cavity cancer patients was 54.6%. According to tumor localization, five-year survival was 86.5% for lip cancer, 48.1% for tongue cancer and 51.7% for other regions of the oral cavity. Differences in survival were identified with respect to age, sex, tumor grade and stage. The present study is the first to provide a comprehensive overview on survival of oral cavity cancer patients in Germany.
本研究旨在描述德国口腔癌患者的生存情况。分析所依据的数据来自德国 11 个基于人群的癌症登记处，覆盖了 3300 万居民。纳入了 1997 年至 2006 年间诊断为口腔癌（ICD-10：C00-06）的患者。采用 2002-2006 年的期间分析来估计 5 年年龄标准化相对生存率，考虑到患者的性别以及肿瘤分级和分期。口腔癌患者的总体 5 年相对生存率为 54.6%。根据肿瘤定位，唇癌的 5 年生存率为 86.5%，舌癌为 48.1%，口腔其他部位为 51.7%。生存率存在年龄、性别、肿瘤分级和分期的差异。本研究首次全面概述了德国口腔癌患者的生存情况。
