title: Oral cancers in India.
abstract: Oral cancers in India constitute a major portion of all cancers. With a population of 1,000 million, this cancer poses many challenges. More than 90% of cases are tobacco-related, and hence eminently amenable to primary prevention. The progress made in these cancers is helping us to address the problem in a better way, bringing hope to overcome the misery. Semin Oncol 28:169-173.
