Global, regional, and national burden of lip and oral cavity cancer and projections to 2036.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lip and oral cavity cancer (LOCC) constitutes a significant global health burden with substantial impact on cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Despite therapeutic advances and enhanced preventive strategies, marked disparities in LOCC outcomes persist across populations. This study aims to present a comprehensive temporal analysis utilizing the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2021, while providing projections through 2036 and examining the contributory effects of principal risk factors.

Methods

Leveraging GBD 2021 data, we analyzed temporal trends in LOCC incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) across global, regional, and national scales from 1990 to 2021. Future projections through 2036 were generated using the Bayesian Age-Period
