Abstract
Background: This retrospective study investigates the clinicopathological features and outcomes of young and elderly patients diagnosed with lip squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).
Material and methods: Data from LSCC patients from Dr. Luiz Antonio Hospital in Natal, Brazil (2000-2015) were analyzed, grouping individuals below 40 and above 60 years old. Demographics, lifestyle habits, clinicopathologic characteristics, and treatment outcomes were examined using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Fisher's tests, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
Results: A total of 47 patients was analyzed, being 20 younger and 27 older, finding significant age-related differences (p = < 0.0001). Although in both groups the tumor was more common in males, older patients had a higher rate of females (29.6%) (p=0.0358) and smoking (70.4%) (p = 0.0043) and underwent more modalities of treatments (p = 0.0027). There were no significant differences in the other analyzed clinicopathologic factors, and survival rates did not differ significantly, though younger patients showed slightly better survival metrics in univariate analysis.
Conclusions: LSCC exhibits some distinct clinicopathological features across different age groups, with significant differences in treatment modalities and progression rates. Age-specific approaches may be required to optimize treatment outcomes.
