The impact of inequalities and health expenditure on mortality due to oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Brazil

Abstract This study aims to assess the magnitude and trend of mortality rates due to oral (OC) and oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) in the 133 Intermediate Geographic Regions (IGR) of Brazil between 1996 and 2018 and to analyze its association with sociodemographic variables and provision of health servic...
