Oral Cancer Screening and Detection

• In Asia, oral cancer is one of the most common
  causes of cancer deaths. Due to the ethnic,
  geographic, and cultural factors, in addition to
  the popularity of addictive habits, the frequency
  of oral cancer is high in India. Dentists conduct
  an oral cancer screening test as a part of the
  oral cancer detection in India. After examining
  the mouth for all the irregularities, a biopsy is
  done for the suspicious looking area. Early
  detection of oral cancer for a successful
  treatment is integral.
