"No Tobacco Day" is being observed on the 31st May The suffering, disfigurement and death due to oral cancer is easily avoidable since the factors associated with the disease have been identified. Another important aspect is its easy accessibility for diagnosis. This feature along with the finding that oral cancer is generally preceded by precancerous lesions provide an excellent opportunity for early detection and control.
