Abstract

Oral cancer is one of the major life-threatening diseases of the modern world. However, this disease is also preventable through early diagnosis and treatment. One of the ways is to promote health awareness through various campaigns and other such tools. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a branch that also deals with the diagnosis and the treatment of such a dreadful disease. Hence the motive behind conducting this questionnaire study was to find out the awareness amongst the patients reporting to our department, most of them from the state of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, about Oral Cancer, the awareness of the causes and misconceptions about the disease in order to collect a demographic data to help improving the awareness campaigns on this disease.
