Worldwide oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer, affecting important structures for respiration, feeding and vision and is the leading cause of illness and death..1,2In developing countries such as India and Tanzania, many cancer patients visit healthcare facilities in the late stage of the disease. This results in delayed diagnosis, poor prognosis, and palliative care treatment. Comparatively indeveloped countries such as the United Kingdom (UK) where oral cancers are usually diagnosed early,1,3 there is less disfigurement, and a reduction in management costs of oral cancer patients. 4 Several factors associated with treatment delays have been identified, including gender, patient age, tumor site, lack of awareness, differences between rural and urban areas, fear of disfiguring surgery, and psycho-social factors .3
