Comparing phone-based vs. in-person mouth cancer screening in rural India
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to find early signs of mouth cancer or conditions that could lead to cancer. One method uses a simple phone-based health check, and the other uses standard in-person screening. People in rural areas of Varanasi who are at risk—such as those who use tobacco or have mouth sores—may be able to join.

This study compares two ways of teaching about oral cancer—through a mobile app or a website. It aims to see which method helps students learn better, which could lead to better prevention and early detection.
This trial tests an oral (mouth) screening approach to catch early, possibly cancer-pre-cursor changes. It may help you find warning spots sooner if you have specific mouth lesions.
This research study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) and smoking might be linked to oral cancer. It aims to understand the relationship between these factors, which could help with prevention and early detection.
