BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to examine the demographics and histopathological features of oral cavity cancers (OCCs) managed in our clinic.
Patients who were diagnosed with OCCs in the Gazi University Otorhinolaryngology Department between the years 1993 and 2013 were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Surgical archive charts and pathology records were reviewed in detail regarding the anatomical and histopathological profiles of the tumors, as well as the demographic data of the patients.
Out of 230 patients with OCCs, the most common anatomic location and histopathological diagnosis were found to be the oral tongue (41.4%) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (84.3%), respectively. A marked predominance of SCC was observed in all subsites of the oral cavity except the hard palate location. The mean age at presentation was 55.5 ± 13.4 years (±SD). The male:female ratio was found to be 2.2:1. A male predominance was also present in all subsites except the retromolar trigon.
OCCs particularly concern the elderly population with a male predominance. The most common location and histopathological type are the oral tongue and SCC, respectively.
背景/目的：本研究旨在检查我们诊所治疗的口腔癌（OCC）的人口统计学和组织病理学特征。
回顾性纳入 1993 年至 2013 年间在加济大学耳鼻喉科诊断为 OCC 的患者。详细审查手术档案图表和病理记录，以了解肿瘤的解剖和组织病理学特征以及患者的人口统计学数据。
在 230 例 OCC 患者中，最常见的解剖部位和组织病理学诊断分别为口腔舌（41.4%）和鳞状细胞癌（SCC）（84.3%）。除硬腭部位外，口腔所有部位均以 SCC 为主。就诊时的平均年龄为 55.5±13.4 岁（±SD）。男女比例为 2.2:1。除磨牙后三角外，所有部位均以男性为主。
OCC 特别关注老年人群，男性居多。最常见的部位和组织病理学类型分别为口腔舌和 SCC。
