Abstract:
The incidence rate of oral cancer among young people in the UK has been increasing since 1970s. The objective of this study was to compare relative survival of young people (under 45 years of age) diagnosed with oral cancer with that of older people (45 years and older) resident in South East England. Between 1986 and 2002, 5 year relative survival was higher among young people compared with the older group, suggesting age was a strong independent predictor of survival. Apart from age other independent predictors of survival included stage, treatment and affluence but residence was not a significant predictor of survival in either age group. For the young age group (0-44 years) mean relative survival for the period under study was relatively constant but consistently higher in younger women than in younger men.
