Still, India has the highest number of oral cancers and most come at a very late stage. The scenario can change only when everyone is involved. Every doctor irrespective of specialization must 1. Ask the tobacco history of the patient. Making him or her aware of the nuances of tobacco 2. Advice to quit tobacco and 3. Refer the patient to a trained specialist to quit tobacco.

Further, oral cancer is no more a killer if detected early and is treated early. There is a change in approach and the outcome for this patient has changed drastically. Now it is an era of scarless surgeries and complete rehabilitation of the patient, with long-term survival.

Oral cancer – king of all cancer needs special attention by all health care professionals and also the public.
