Development and Evolution of a Diagnostic and Oral Pathology Service in a Southeast Brazilian State

Abstract: Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most frequent cancers whose main causes are preventable because oral cavity is easily accessible for examination. OSCC involves many steps from the diagnosis until treatment which can result in late diagnosis and worst prognosis. Objective: Development and evolution of a Stomatology and Oral Pathology Service at the Federal University of Alfenas addressing early diagnosis and management of oral lesions. Method: Retrospective study developed with t… Show more

“…The prevalence of oral lesions is primarily determined through population-based studies, 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 or studies carried out in dental centers 19 , 20 , 21 or from oral pathology laboratories. 22 , 23 , 24 However, as no standardization in OOPML classification exists, with studies classifying OOPML by a lesion group (e.g., non-neoplastic lesions) 19 or by a specific disease (e.g., oral lesions in syphilis), 25 the reported OOPML frequencies are directly influenced. 26 , 27 , 28 Furthermore, the lack of systematic and standardized inclusion of oral cavity/oropharynx examination in the routine medical examination generates gaps in medical records, 29 , 30 and epidemiological surveys on oral health only provide information on diseases related to dental elements (e.g., caries, edentulism).…”
