Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed with robust Poisson regression (α=5%).Results Males (56.6%), non-white individuals (49.0%) and individuals over than 60 years of age (74.1%) were the most affected by SCC. The tongue (35.1%) and palate (21.5%) were the most common sites. A large portion of the patients were smokers (37.6%) and 60.2% were in an advanced stage of the disease. Clinical staging was not associated with sex, age, skin color or drinking and/or smoking habits.Conclusion There was a higher incidence of SCC in men, older patients, non-white individuals and smokers. Clinical staging was not associated with the variables analyzed. 2018 artículo científico 0124-0064 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42258471012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/422/42258471012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/422/42258471012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/422/42258471012/42258471012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/422/42258471012/movil 10.15446/rsap.V20n2.49508 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=422 Revista de Salud Pública application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista de Salud Pública (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.20
