Abstract
Background: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor that inflicts the population even with the development of treatments.
Methods: In this letter, we used SEER to investigate the prevalence of MEC in the oral cavity, lip, and pharynx within the U.S. population to contribute to this movement.
Results: We found that MEC is prevalent among various ethnic groups (e.g., Black and American-Indian/Alaska Natives) and is higher in more specifically White and Asian/Pacific Islanders. Prevalence increases with age, with the highest in the 70-74 age group.
Conclusion: By showing the demographic characteristics of the inflicted population, we are contributing to the future of precision medicine and expanding the relaitonship between disease and population factors.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine is to publish manuscripts of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in oral pathology and oral medicine. Papers advancing the science or practice of these disciplines will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of techniques within the spheres of light and electron microscopy, tissue and organ culture, immunology, histochemistry and immunocytochemistry, microbiology, genetics and biochemistry.
