Resumo: | The objective of the present study was to determine the time it takes from the detection of a malignant oral lesion until the moment treatment in a specialized center begins. Fifteen consecutive patients (9 males and 6 females) with malignant oral lesions who had been referred for diagnosis to the University of São Paulo School of Dentistry (FOUSP) were followed. No changes were made in the school’s routine management protocol. After one year of follow-up, we observed that patients waited a mean of 19.3 days to receive a diagnosis of the oral lesion, and waited 65.7 days until the beginning of treatment. Patients had to wait a mean of 84 days between the time of the first visit at FOUSP and the beginning of treatment. Based on the fact that early diagnosis of oral cancer and immediate treatment are important in the control of this disease leading to decreased morbidity and mortality we propose a re-evaluation of the protocol for the management of oral cancer patients at FOUSP. |

Para tanto, 15 pacientes consecutivos (9 homens e 6 mulheres), portadores de lesões malígnas da cavidade bucal, encaminhados para diagnóstico e tratamento à Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (FOUSP) foram acompanhados, sem que a rotina de manejo destes pacientes fosse alterada. Após um ano, observou-se que em média os pacientes aguardam 19,3 dias para receberem o diagnóstico de câncer. Do momento do diagnóstico até o início da terapia da lesão decorreram em média 65,7 dias. O tempo médio decorrido entre a primeira visita à FOUSP e o início do tratamento foi de 84 dias. Baseados no fato de que o diagnóstico precoce do câncer bucal e o tratamento imediato são fatores importantes na diminuição da alta morbidade e mortalidade causadas por esta doença, acreditamos que o serviço público de diagnóstico e tratamento de pacientes portadores de câncer bucal que serve os pacientes da FOUSP deva ser reavaliado.INCA2001-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/230710.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2001v47n3.2307Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 47 No. 3 (2001): July/Aug./Sept.; 283-289Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 47 Núm. 3 (2001): jul./ago./sept.; 283-289Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 47 n. 3 (2001): jul./ago/set.; 283-2892176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/2307/1440Costa, Edna Gonçalves da Migliorati, Cesar Augusto info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:41:11Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/2307Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:41:11Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false |
