“…However, studies have pointed towards growth on the prevalence of such tumors on females, particularly because of changes on the female behavior in the last decades 18 . The death ratio by gender for this study was 3:1, similar to other studies that depict higher proportion of death by mouth cancer among males 7,[17][18][19]22,[25][26][27][28][29] . Analyzing data related to death rates according to age group, there was no statistically significant difference between the age intervals (p = 0,2), as found in another similar study 26 .…”

“…About the marital status, on the sum of the years, it was found higher death rate among non-married (50,57%), something different from other studies, in which morbidity 23 and mortality by larynx cancer was more frequent among married individuals 25 . Nevertheless, this study showed that, for mouth cancer, the death risk is higher among married people (PR = 2,10; p = 0,001).…”

“…This situation leads to a late diagnosis, with the consequence advance of the illness and reduced effectiveness of the treatment. Not surprisingly, the mortality coefficients tend to be more elevated among this population 15 . Also in the state of Pernambuco 15 , the same hypothesis could justify the high mortality coefficient found on Fernando de Noronha island.…”

“…Not surprisingly, the mortality coefficients tend to be more elevated among this population 15 . Also in the state of Pernambuco 15 , the same hypothesis could justify the high mortality coefficient found on Fernando de Noronha island. Access to specialized health services is precarious, leading to a difficulty in continuing treatment.…”
