Oral cancer awareness and knowledge in adults attending a dental hospital in Northeast India
Conclusion The lack of basic awareness about the risk factors, causes, signs and symptoms of oral cancer in this cross-sectional population of Northeast India is clearly evident in our study. Since, Northeast India accounts for more than 40% of these cases, interactive cancer awareness programs should be taken up by research organizations and government to educate people and make them better understand the serious implications of oral cancer.
