“…Studies in the region [5, 31, 32] show a decrease in mortality trends across countries, Ecuador included. However, the lack of reliable and current databases might cause an underestimation of OC impact.…”

The aims of this study were to describe the temporal trend of OC from 2001 to 2016 and to analyze the space and space-time clusters of high mortality due to OC in Ecuador from 2011 to 2016. Methods. The present study is a mixed ecological study; the time trends were obtained using a Joinpoint regression model, space-time scan statistics was used to identify high-risk clusters, and Global Moran I index was calculated. Results. In Ecuador, between 2001 and 2016, OC caused a total of 1,025 deaths. Crude mortality rates significantly increased, with an APC (annual percentage change) of 2.7% (p=0.009). The age-standardized mortality rate did not significantly increase (APC: 1.73%; p=0.08). The most likely cluster was detected in 2015, included 20 cantons. The second cluster included 38 cantons, in the years 2014 to 2016. The Global Moran I index for the study period showed a negative spatial autocorrelation (−0.067; p=0.37). Conclusion. Mortality due to OC in Ecuador significantly increased over the 16-year study period, the young groups being the most affected. Ecuadorian provinces present high variability in types of OC and cancer rates.

“…This percentage has not changed from the previous period, between 1955 In relation to sex, mortality from OPC affects more men, which is consistent with the results published in the literature. 3 This could be explained because women get medical check-ups more frequently, smoke less and consume less alcohol than men, thus decreasing their risk of death.…”

“…1 The reported OC incidence in Chile is 3.2 in men and 1.2 in women, with a mortality rate ranging between 1.11 and 1.25 for every 100,000 inhabitants. 2 Although early detection of OC is considered the most effective measure in reducing its morbidity, 3 its mortality is associated with late diagnosis in advanced stages of the disease, when treatment is usually radical, and of poor prognosis. Literature describes two main causes: the first one is a general lack of public awareness; and the second, a negative attitude and insufficient knowledge about the topic by the professional in charge.…”

Objective: To determine the level of knowledge of Oral Cancer (OC) of dental surgeons in Los Rios Region in the year 2017. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study consisting of a survey containing 24 multiple-choice questions was conducted and applied in person to 102 public practice dentists of Los Ríos Region, between March-July 2017. Participants were previously informed that the survey was voluntary, anonymous and confidential. Characterization data from the population was collected and the variable "Knowledge of Oral Cancer" along with its subsections on OC epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment/complications and prognosis/ prevention were measured. Tabulated data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Results were presented through a passing percentage (60% minimum for approval). Results: 100 surveys were answered (with a 98% response rate). Knowledge of OC averaged a 77% passing rate among the participants: 63% for the epidemiology section, 78% for etiopathogenesis, 86.5% for diagnosis, 64% for treatment/complications, while OC prevention resulted in a 75% passing rate. Conclusion: A high percentage of dental surgeons in Los Rios Region demonstrated a satisfactory knowledge of the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and prevention of OC. However, a low percentage responded correctly regarding the epidemiological factors, treatment and complications. It is highly recommended to follow the same research methodology in other regions across Chile in order to analyze results at a national level with a new approach, so as to properly guide future professional training programs.
