Resumo: Objective: This systematic review intent to analyze the reasons for the differences between mortality rates of oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas among countries with high incidence of these cancers.
Study Design: Data were collected by applying a search strategy to seven databases - MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and EMBASE, and Google Scholar and Open Grey of the grey literature.
Results: Of the 5,317 articles found, the systematic review included 62 - 39 in the higher mortality group, and 23 in the lower mortality group. Tumors in the higher mortality group appeared to be advanced in size and clinical staging, with patients exhibiting more harmful habits. On the other hand, tumors in the lower mortality group appeared to be smaller in size and to have more relation to HPV infection.
Conclusion: The countries with higher mortality of oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas present a lower human development index (HDI) when compared to the countries with low mortality. This may explain the differences between size and clinical staging in diagnosis as well as the presence of harmful habits, since countries with low HDI tend to have difficulties in healthcare access.
