Objectives: We would like to launch the epidemiology of oral cancer in Casablanca - Morocco and target the type of tobacco which brings about the greatest part of oral cancer Methods: An epidemiological study was conducted in Casablanca (Morocco) from the 1st of January 2011 to the 1st of January 2012, at the Oncology Center, the Centre of Consultation and Dental Treatment, the Centre of Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial department. Data collection form shelped us to collect the necessary information. Results: The collected total was 83 patients with oral cancer. 92.8% of patients are over 40 years. 68.7% of patients are males. 56.6% of patients are cigarette smokers. 38.3% of patients are alcoholics and smokers. 96.4% of patients have squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusions: From these findings, the epidemiological profile of patients with oral cancer in Morocco is closer to the Western profile which is mainly caused by tobacco and alcohol.
