Abstract

Oral cancer is one of the top ten locations of cancer incidence in the world and in Cuba. It is the most visible and the one that most aesthetically and functionally mutilates the patient, affecting them psychologically and having repercussions on their family and social environment. The objective was to describe the epidemiology of oral cancer. To develop this research, theoretical methods were used: analytical-synthetic and historical-logical analysis, in addition to the empirical method of documentary analysis. 20 bibliographies were selected. The behavior of this pathology varies between countries, influencing the way and lifestyle, which is one of the determinants of health, with smoking being the fundamental risk factor. It is more common in people over 60 years of age and in men in Cuba, where there is an organized program for the early detection of this cancer, and despite the promotion and prevention actions implemented, it continues to increase
