Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Aristides Maltez Hospital (HAM), analyzing the medical records of patients treated between 2008 and 2015. Of the 722 medical records analyzed, 154 were included, considering the following variables: gender, age, occupation and educational level; type of lesion of the mouth/oropharynx cancer, its location and stage.
