India ranks No. 1 in terms of the number of Oral Cancer patients in the World. “DO IT, BUT DO IT RIGHT” the theme for the 2023 Oral Cancer E-conclave aims to reach out to colleagues and youngsters to learn and be aware of the right interventions.
Oral Cancer is a public health issue. It is easily detectable, it is easily treatable, and more importantly, it is preventable cancer. If we have to control the disease, everyone needs to be involved from the masses to the doctors.
SELF-ORAL AWARENESS (CHOTA DAANA) – Examine the oral cavity regularly, and know what is normal to see the doctor regularly. self oral awareness regular simple examination at home every month, and a clinical examination by a general physician, dental, ENT, or surgeon can detect any lesion early. What we say – CHOTA DANA – JAB BHI DEKHO CHOTA DANA USKI JAANCH JARUR KARANA, CANCER KO BANNE DO NA NASUR, JALD KARO ISHHE DOOR.
4 Finger Tests – KNOW YOUR MOUTH OPENING – this may be just the beginning of a disaster. Regular mouth opening exercise and avoiding causing agent. Knowledge for everyone.
AVOID DISASTERs – Osteoradionecrosis, post-radiotherapy brittle tooth, and tooth decay, preoperative planning for rehabilitation, and contouring surgical intervention to give good quality of life. These need knowledge dissipation amongst the oncologists – surgical, radiation, or medical. Associating dental colleagues is a must in the management of oncology patients.
EXCEPTING TOBACCO CESSATION – understanding, influencing, and referring to a specialist for cessation. Having a Cessation Specialist in your Institution or networking is a requirement. The knowledge that Tobacco use is a disease and these patients need the right treatment. Not referring the patient to the Tobacco Cessation expert may have medico-legal implications.
WHAT MATTERS is The BEST OUTCOME FOR Oral Cancer patients. THAT’S THE THEME OF THE 3rd ORAL CANCER E-CONCLAVE – DO IT, BUT DO IT RIGHT. All-inclusive we have to skill up and respect every professional.
To encourage the youth we have planned an E-Quiz on the theme of the day and 40 prizes to be won as scholarships for India’s first Gujarat University accredited CERTIFIED TOBACCO CESSATION SPECIALIST course! AND LUCKY DRAW EACH DAY.

Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch. Founder ICanCaRe and Director of MAX Hospital Delhi said women are the greatest sufferer because of tobacco. The tobacco industry is targeting women in the name of liberation. As primary users, women suffer more than the man. And in this case, as a woman is married to a tobacco user her life is in total topsy turvy. Women suffer the most, and in the present era, they can be the savior of the present and the future generation. Every woman should be empowered as a tobacco MARSHAL to save herself, her family, future generation, and society from the painful prolonged suffering and death due to tobacco.
Mrs. Sonal Bhatia, leader of Tobacco MARSHAL a great motivator and who achieved a target of 1000 tobacco MARSHAL in 5 months during her tenure as DC of 310 was greatly appreciated for her pioneering work as a Tobacco Marshal along with her members. Her unique endeavor to reach out to the rural areas and create sensitization followed by training of 550 tobacco MINI-MARSHALs of NCC girls from the rural background was applauded and sought to be used as an example to follow by all to increase our reach and penetration in the most needed areas in our country.It is important for capacity building, to get more and more girls and women involved as Tobacco MARSHALs or MINI-Emirati Marshals to widen the campaign.
