Abstract(s)
Os cancros da cavidade oral e orofaringe constituem o sexto cancro mais comum em todo o mundo, com uma alta taxa de incidência e mortalidade, principalmente em países cujas populações vivem com baixos rendimentos. Os Médicos Dentistas desempenham um papel importante na prevenção do Cancro Oral, quer pelo incentivo à mudança dos estilos de vida, quer pela identificação de lesões da mucosa oral através do exame completo da cavidade oral. Os rastreios a nível populacional não têm sido incentivados, mas sim os “rastreios oportunista”, onde os pacientes recebem um exame para sinais de Cancro Oral ou de Lesões Potencialmente Malignas, mesmo que não tenham procurado a consulta para esse fim. O objetivo desta revisão bibliográfica foi estudar as estratégias e os programas de intervenção precoce do cancro oral através da consulta de artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos.
Oral and oropharyngeal cancers are the sixth most common cancers in the world, with a high incidence and mortality rate, especially in countries where populations live on low incomes. Dentists play an important role in the prevention of oral cancer, either by the goal of changing lifestyles or by identifying lesions of the oral mucosa through a thorough examination of the oral cavity. Screening at the population level has not been encouraged, but rather the “opportunistic screening”, where patients receive an examination for signs of Oral Cancer or Potentially Malignant Injuries, even if they have not sought the consultation for this purpose. The aim of this bibliographic revision was to study the strategies and programs of early intervention of oral cancer through the consultation of articles published in the last 5 years.
