Oral cavity cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in India, and is heavily driven by regional habits involving tobacco, betel quid, gutkha, and alcohol, with Uttar Pradesh bearing a substantial burden of head and neck carcinomas as part of the country's central high-risk belt. Within Jaunpur and surrounding semi-urban and rural areas, oral cancer screening uptake remains critically low, with district-level analyses highlighting an uptake of approximately 0.1 percent among eligible demographics.
