Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe sociodemographic variables and verify changes in white blood cells of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).METHODS: Cross-sectional retrospective study that used secondary data of patients with OSCC, attended at the Oral Medicine Service of the School of Dentistry of ULBRA, between 2010 and 2014.RESULTS: 87.3% of the population were male, white (71%), age superior to 60 years (38.7%), urban worker (61.3%), without changing in the overall health at query time (67.7%) and residents of the municipality of Canoas/RS (93.6%). The most prevalent injuries sites were the buccal floor, alveolar ridge, corners of the mouth and gums (61.3%). 74.2% of the sample were smokers and 45.2% drinkers. As for the WBC, most patients presented values within the normal range: total leukocytes (77.4%), lymphocytes (87.1%) and neutrophils (96.8%). CONCLUSION: The profile of the sample was consistent with literature: white males over the age of 40 years, smokers/former-smokers and alcoholics/ex-alcoholics. The patients did not show changes in the white blood cells (leukogram) values. It is recommended that more research should be conducted in this area of knowledge, due to the importance of the subject.

诊断时口腔鳞状细胞癌患者的白细胞计数:巴西南部人群的横断面回顾性研究

目的:描述口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)患者的社会人口学变量并验证白细胞的变化。方法:采用2010年至2014年在ULBRA牙科学院口腔医学服务部就诊的OSCC患者的二次资料进行横断面回顾性研究。结果:87.3%的人口为男性，白人(71%)，年龄在60岁以上(38.7%)，城市工人(61.3%)，总体健康状况在查询时没有变化(67.7%)，卡诺亚斯/RS市居民(93.6%)。最常见的损伤部位是颊底、牙槽嵴、嘴角和牙龈(61.3%)。74.2%的人吸烟，45.2%的人喝酒。WBC多数在正常范围内:总白细胞(77.4%)、淋巴细胞(87.1%)、中性粒细胞(96.8%)。结论:样本的特征与文献一致:40岁以上的白人男性，吸烟者/前吸烟者和酗酒者/前酗酒者。患者的白细胞(白图)值未见变化。鉴于这一学科的重要性，建议在这一知识领域进行更多的研究。

The Journal seeks to publish articles on new conceptual models, innovative technology, alternative procedures or treatment to reduce disease burden in the general population or specific groups, thus contributing to translating science into practice and social development. Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered for publication: 1) original research reports of basic and applied oral sciences, epidemiological, and education studies; 2) review article; 3) case report. The Revista Odonto Ciência only accepts manuscripts written in English. Manuscripts submitted to this journal should not have been published before nor have publication pending elsewhere.
