Aim. To assess the epidemiological and clinical factors that influence the prognosis of oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell\ncarcinoma (SCC). Methods. One hundred and twenty-one cases of oral and oropharyngeal SCC were selected.The survival curves\nfor each variable were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox regression model was applied to assess the effect of the\nvariables on survival. Results. Cancers at an advanced stage were observed in 103 patients (85.1%). Cancers on the tongue were more\nfrequent (23.1%). The survival analysis was 59.9% in one year, 40.7% in two years, and 27.8% in 5 years.There was a significant low\nsurvival rate linked to alcohol intake (
