Background:
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor that inflicts the population even with the development of treatments.
Methods:
In this letter, we used SEER to investigate the prevalence of MEC in the oral cavity, lip, and pharynx within the U.S. population to contribute to this movement.
Results:
We found that MEC is prevalent among various ethnic groups (e.g., Black and American-Indian/Alaska Natives) and is higher in more specifically White and Asian/Pacific Islanders. Prevalence increases with age, with the highest in the 70-74 age group.
Conclusion:
By showing the demographic characteristics of the inflicted population, we are contributing to the future of precision medicine and expanding the relaitonship between disease and population factors.
