IAOMP Torch Guidelines
Only less than 50 percent of oral cancer cases are broke down at starting times of the disease and this is because of constrained degree of poor awareness and non-attendance of data on the signs and symptoms of this deadly disease. Oral cancer is a noteworthy disease worldwide with up to 400,000 new cases each year and pretty much 130,000 passing’s each year. Prominently, 80% of these cases occur in the South and South East Asian countries. The recurrence of oral cancer is growing in various countries basically in light of the power of smoking and alcohol usage, the essential parts. In Asian countries including India, the condition is exacerbated by the demonstration of betel quid chewing. Despite the risk factors adding to oral ailment enhancement, the most indispensable factor that changes persevering survival is the stage by which the oral cancer is diagnosed. The mouth is easily open for clinical or even self-examination; early diagnosis of oral cancer is speculatively possible. Regardless, various benign mouth diseases may appear as oral cancer or precancer and learning of some important features of oral cancer may in all likelihood uncover issues of individuals by and large to search for thought early. Bringing awareness light engages individuals to show early. The proportion of oral cancer cases diagnosed at an early and localised stage is still less than fifty percent resulting in an appalling 5-year survival rate of about 50%. Current evidence suggests that this is in part due to poor public awareness of the disease itself and the associated signs and symptoms of oral cancer and premalignant lesions. Therefore Indian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology have decided to run a national wide oral cancer awareness programs through various dental establishments which are set up in India with a TITLE: WE CAN.
