Global Burden of Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer Attributable to Alcohol Use in 204 Countries and Regions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and aims

Lip and oral cavity cancer is a significant global health burden. Alcohol use is a major independent risk factor. This study aims to comprehensively quantify the global disease burden of lip and oral cavity cancer attributable to alcohol use from 1990 to 2019 and to identify temporal, geographical, and gender-specific patterns.

Methods

This study aims to estimate the trends in age-standardized death rates (ASDR) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for lip and oral cancer attributable to alcohol use in 204 countries and 21 regions. Additionally, we will calculate the estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) for these trends.

Results

Between 1990 and 2019, the global number of deaths and DALYs for lip and oral cancers attributable to alcoh
