[Oncologic issues gerostomatology].
In collection value we have analyzed 565 patients above 60 years with malignoms in maxillo-facial area (lip, tongue, big salivary glands, gum, floor of the oral cavity and other strictly undetermined parts of mouth) treated during the years 1978 and 1988 in Central Slovakia. Following epidemiological terms have been studied: incidence, age groups, seasonal occurrence, dimension of the tumors and their stage, time for examination of diagnosis, timeliness of determinations of illness, type of the treatment, time of surviving and causes of death. The number of malignant neoplasms after the age of 60 years is growing. The largest number of malignoms was with Ca of lips, tongue and big salivary glands. Mostly half of the patients looked for the medical help in progressive stadium of the disease.
