There are reports about the changing epidemiology of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with recent reports indicating an increasing incidence in young women.
Data on incident cases of tongue SCC were collected from cancer registries worldwide.
Data from a total of 22 cancer registries and 89,212 incident cases of tongue SCC worldwide were included. Most areas experienced an incidence increase ranging from 0.4% to 3.3% per year. There was a significant difference in the incidence increase between sexes in 11 of the 22 registries. In 14 of the 22 registries studied, the increase in incidence of tongue SCC was higher in the group of subjects <45 years old than those ≥45 years old.
This study suggests a general but not universal increase in the incidence of tongue SCC worldwide. In some regions of the world, we observed a shifting trend toward women and/or younger patients. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 39: 297-304, 2017.
有关于舌鳞状细胞癌（SCC）流行病学变化的报道，近期报道显示年轻女性的发病率呈上升趋势。
从全球癌症登记处收集舌SCC发病病例的数据。
纳入了来自全球22个癌症登记处的共计89212例舌SCC发病病例的数据。大多数地区的发病率每年增长0.4%至3.3%。22个登记处中有11个登记处的发病率增长在性别间存在显著差异。在研究的22个登记处中的14个，年龄＜45岁组的舌SCC发病率增长高于年龄≥45岁组。
本研究表明全球范围内舌SCC发病率总体呈上升趋势，但并非普遍如此。在世界某些地区，我们观察到发病趋势向女性和/或年轻患者转移。©2016威利期刊公司。《头颈》39: 297 - 304，2017年。
