Aplicación del programa de detección precoz del cáncer bucal. Application of the program for the early detection of oral cancer
Abstract
Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, del total de pacientes (788) mayores de 15 años inscriptos en el archivo de la Unidad Oncológica Provincial, que presentaban neoplasias malignas de cabeza y cuello en las diferentes localizaciones, en el periodo comprendido entre 1982-1996, se evaluó la actividad según el Programa de Detección Precoz del Cáncer, teniendo en cuenta la etapa clínica en que fueron diagnosticados, donde el 54 % de los pacientes fueron captados en etapas clínicas III y IV, el 38 % en etapas I y II y con un comportamiento en cuanto a tasas de incidencia por municipios por años bastante baja. El 56,3 % de los pacientes fallecieron o estaban vivos con enfermedad no controlada, el 38 % se encontraban libres de enfermedad neoplasia, representados, en su mayoría, por pacientes diagnosticados en etapas I y II, por lo que se puede concluir que el funcionamiento (actividad) de dicho programa es deficiente ya que su razón de ser es evitar que aparezca la enfermedad maligna o que se detecte en etapas tempranas y no se está logrando.
