Description
Summary:This study aimed to determine whether the incidence of oral cancer is continuing to rise in the UK and if this varies geographically. A descriptive epidemiological study of oral cancer incidence in 12 UK cancer registries (1990–1999) was undertaken. Poisson regression models were employed to assess trends. There were 32,852 oral cancer cases registered (1990–1999). Statistically significant increases in incidence of 18% and 30% were seen in males and females respectively ( p < 0.01). The trend was observed in younger (
