| Abstract: | The incidence of oral cancer is alarmingly increasing worldwide, especially in developing countries. Knowledge regarding the nature, detection, management and prevention plays an important role in providing integrated treatment for patients seeking care for this life-threatening condition. This study aims in assessing oral cancer knowledge and awareness among dental, medical and allied health science professionals across India. The survey consisted of 30 questionnaires including socio-demographic aspects and specific questions about oral cancer. The study included 1000 participants of age 18-65 years, who were willing to answer the questionnaire provided through an offline and online Google form. The study comprised of 285 BDS, 73 MDS, 415 MBBS, 29 MD/MS and 199 allied health science professionals. Oral squamous cell carcinoma was identified as the most common type of oral cancer by 61.9% of participants. Oral mucosa was the correctly identified site by 51.6%. Leukoplakia was identified as a condition with malignant potential by 33.3%. The most commonly reported barrier to performing oral examinations was a lack of training, knowledge and experience. This study emphasized the need for education and training modules on oral cancer knowledge and awareness to improve the prognostic outcome. |
