Abstract
Oral cancer represents a significant health burden globally, with its incidence, mortality, and survival rates varying across populations. In the United States, oral cancer encompasses malignancies affecting various oral and pharyngeal sites, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and pharynx. Despite advancements in detection and treatment modalities, oral cancer remains a formidable threat to public health, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its epidemiological patterns and prognostic factors. This research article provides an epidemiological overview of oral cancer in the United States, elucidating its incidence, mortality rates, and survival outcomes. By synthesizing available data, including prevalence statistics and survival trends, this study aims to highlight the magnitude of the oral cancer burden and identify key prognostic indicators influencing patient outcomes. Insights gleaned from this analysis can inform public health strategies, clinical interventions, and research initiatives aimed at mitigating the impact of oral cancer and improving patient prognosis.
