Background: Oral cavity cancer is the eighth most frequent cancer among men in the world. The aim of this study was to present the mortality trends from this cancer for Iranian population during 1995-2004.
Materials and Methods: The National Death Statistic reported by the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education from 1995 to 2004 stratified by age group, sex, and cause of death were included in this analysis. Oral cavity cancer [ICD-10 C00-08] were expressed as the annual mortality rates/100,000, overall, by sex and by age group (<15, 15-49 and ≥50 years of age).
Results: The mortality rate of oral cavity cancer increased dramatically from 1995 to 2002, however a sharp decreasing was observed from 2002 to 2004. Moreover, the mortality of oral cavity cancer was higher for male. Besides, age specific rate for oral cavity cancer indicated higher mortality rate for older age.
Conclusion: However, the burden of oral cavity cancer in Iran is lower than other Asian countries further studies are required to establish risk factors or modifiers for this cancer in Iranian population in order to decrease its incidence and mortality.
