- The study aimed to investigate the frequency of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in relation to oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and understand the epidemiological profile in Latin America.
- A total of 2705 OSCC cases were analyzed, revealing a mean age of 62.8 years, with a higher prevalence among men, smokers, and drinkers, and the lateral tongue being the most affected area.
- The findings indicate that most cases were OSCC-de novo (81.4%), highlighting regional variations in OPMD, with leukoplakia being the most common, and suggest the need for additional studies to further explore this phenomenon.
