Title : Awareness of Oral Cancer in a community of Sunsari, Nepal: Oral Cancer awareness saves lives

Abstract:

One of the most prevalent cancers in the world, oral cancer is also one of the leading causes of mortality in some areas, such as South-Central Asia, and is a significant public health issue. Oral cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in women and the most common cancer in men in Nepal, according to the National Health Policy. Several studies have shown that the public is not well aware of the risk factors associated with oral cancer. The objective of this study was to assess the awareness of oral cancer among people of Sunsari.
