title: [The epidemiological features in carcinoma of the oral cavity].
abstract: In the present paper, the authors, after a review of some classifications of oral cavity carcinoma (TNM) staging, histological grading and clinical stadiation, deal with some epidemiological remarks according to Italian Tumours Registers from 1983 up to 1987. Incidence, mortality, distribution by age and anatomic site are shown with reference to standard and cut rates. At last, they underline the importance of an early diagnosis in order to give these patients, after therapy a better quality of life.
