Smith, E.M.

Recent literature on morbidity and mortality patterns, known risk factors and related sociobehavioural characteristics of oral cancer are examined. Despite variation in populations and methods, alcohol and tobacco are seen as the main independent aetiological agents; these effects were associated with age, sex and religion-ethnicity. Other factors are suggested, but their correlation is less consistent: geographical location, race, socioeconomic status, nutrition, dental conditions and concurrent diseases. Social and behavioural components may change risk, stage of disease at diagnosis, treatment or survival from oral cancer. The impact of sociobehavioural elements on the reduction of the incidence of and the mortality from the disease is an important area needing further investigation.
