About
Oral Cancer Screening Programs focus on the early identification of precancerous lesions and oral cancers through systematic, routine, and community-based screening initiatives. These programs play a crucial role in reducing late-stage diagnosis, improving survival rates, and lowering treatment costs, especially in high-risk populations such as tobacco, areca nut, and alcohol users. Dentists are central to successful screening and referral pathways.
