Oral Cancer Awareness in Egypt
Sponsor: Ayat Gamal-AbdelNaser
Summary
Oral cancer is a fatal disease with high prevalence and poor survival rate. Most oral cancer cases can be detected by the patients themselves. So, when a patient is aware of oral caner, the patient would realize its signs and symptom and seek early medical care; therefore, improving the prognosis. To our knowledge, the level of awareness of oral cancer has not been investigated in Egyptian population. Therefore, this study is planned to be a pilot study as a first study in Egypt.
