| description | Abstract Background The study aimed to examine the prevalence of gingival cancers compared to other oral mucosal sites, analyze patient profiles, and identify risk factors. Materials and Methods A retrospective monocentric study was conducted at the Department of Oral Medicine of Bretonneau Hospital in Paris, France. 32 patients diagnosed with oral mucosal cancer were included. Data extracted from electronic medical records encompassed patient demographics, cancer type, lesion location, and tobacco/alcohol use. Results 46.9% were diagnosed with gingival cancer. Patients with gingival cancer had a mean age of 74.2 years old, higher than the mean age of 63.9 years old for those with non-gingival cancer. Men accounted for 60% of cases in the gingival cancer group. Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant cancer type observed in both gingival and non-gingival cancers. Notably, 26.7% of gingival cancer patients used both alcohol and tobacco, all of them male. Among non-gingival cancer patients, 23.5% used both substances, with both sexes represented. Conclusion This study provides insights into the higher prevalence of oral squamous cell carcinoma among men with risk factors and highlights characteristics of gingival squamous cell carcinoma. Effective management strategies should include comprehensive clinical assessments to ensure early detection and intervention for improved outcomes. |
