Temporal trends of women with oral cavity, base of tongue and lip cancers in Brazil: An ecological study covering mortality data from 1980 to 2018.

Objectives: Obtaining robust evidence about the local mortality levels, trends and impact of oral cavity/base of tongue cancers and lip cancer, especially for women, is imperative in the fight against cancer. This descriptive retrospective ecological time-series study explored trends in oral cavity/base of tongue cancers and lip cancer mortality rates for women in Brazil from 1980 to 2018, by geographic region and anatomical location.

Methods: The crude and age-adjusted annual mortality rates were obtained by sex, anatomical location and macro-regions of Brazil.

Demographic and Clinicopathologic Features of Actinic Cheilitis and Lip Squamous Cell Carcinoma: a Brazilian Multicentre Study.

Data on the occurrence and clinicopathological characteristics of actinic cheilitis (AC) and lip squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) are well studied; however, they are based on studies limited to a single centre. Herein, we described the frequency of AC and LSCC submitted to microscopic examination from representative geographic regions of Brazil. A retrospective multicentre study was performed on biopsies obtained from 1953 to 2018 at 10 Brazilian oral and maxillofacial pathology centres.

A Retrospective Brazilian Multicenter Study of Biopsies at the Periapical Area: Identification of Cases of Nonendodontic Periapical Lesions.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to analyze the features of lesions obtained from biopsies at the periapical area of teeth with a radiographic or clinical initial diagnosis of apical periodontitis.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on biopsies obtained from 1953-2018 at 3 Brazilian oral and maxillofacial pathology centers. Cases of endodontic and nonendodontic periapical lesions (NPLs) with a clinical diagnosis of endodontic pathoses were retrieved.

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma: a 31-year retrospective study and analysis of 214 cases reported in the literature.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features of BSCC in the oral cavity, diagnosed over 31 years of service in oral pathology, and make comparisons with the data reported in the literature.

Methods: Data regarding gender, age, clinical presentation, anatomical location, symptoms, evolution time, size of lesion, and use of alcohol and tobacco from cases of BSCC were collected. Additionally, we conducted a review of BSCC studies from searches in three electronic databases.
