Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinicopathological characteristics and survival of two cohorts of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) from Spain and Colombia.
Methods: Clinicopathological and survival variables of patients with OSCC from six maxillofacial surgery departments in Spain and Colombia were retrospectively reviewed. Variables were compared according to country of origin.
Results: We included 649 patients, 359 from Spain and 290 from Colombia. The Colombian cohort was younger, drank more alcohol, had less comorbidities, and reported a greater mean number of days both from symptoms to diagnosis and from then to treatment, which was ∼2.5 times longer in the Colombian cohort. Colombian patients were diagnosed at a more advanced stage. The treatment of choice was resective surgery. In the Colombian cohort, more patients received radio and chemotherapy together with surgery. Second primary tumors and recurrences were more frequent in the Colombian sample (7.2% vs. 2.8%; p = 0.008) and in the Spanish cohort (32% vs. 23.1%; p = 0.012), respectively. Overall survival was similar between the two samples (HR = 1.15; 95% CI = 0.93-1.42; p = 0.195) and disease-specific survival was worse in the Colombian one (HR = 1.30; 95% CI = 1.03-1.65; p = 0.027).
Conclusions: There were epidemiological differences between patients with OSCC in both cohorts and a longer delay in diagnosis and treatment in the Colombian sample.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
