[Global aspects of the epidemiology of oral cancer].
On the basis of IARC's Cancer in five contents (vol. V) an analysis has been made of the occurrence of oral cancer on a global basis. The highest rates for oral cancer (cancer of the vermillion border and the oral cavity) were found in Bas-Rhin in France, São Paulo in Brasil and in New Foundland in Canada. India comes in as number four. The differences between men and women are emphasized, and so is the difference between people with a white skin and those with a dark skin. In the latter groups cancer of the vermillion border is rare.
