Abstract

Objectives: To summarize and provide an overview of age-specific oral cancer incidence reported in 29 population-based cancer registry in India.

Materials and methods: Secondary data on age-adjusted rates (AARs) of incidence of oral cancer and other associated sites for all ages (0-75 years) were collected from the report of the National Cancer Registry Programme 2012-2014 in 29 population-based control registries.

Results: Among both males and females, mouth cancer had maximum Age adjusted incidence rates (64.8) in the central zone, while oropharynx cancer had minimum AAR (0) in all regions.

Conclusion: Oral cancer incidence increases with age with typical pattern of cancer of associated sites of oral cavity seen in the northeast region.

Keywords: Age-adjusted rates; cancer statistics; population-based cancer registry.
