We at Sangeeta Darvekar Charitable Trust are putting all our efforts in creating awareness of evils of Tobacco use and resultant oral cancer.
We are extremely thankful to TATA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Mumbai for all the help they have provided specially Dr Ketayun Dinshaw, Dr Surendra Shastri, Dr Anil D'Cruz, Dr Pankaj Chaturvedi, Mr. Humayun Jafri and Mr. Uday Gadgil.
Oral cancer is the most common cancer in India and according to Dr Geoff Craig "People are dying of oral cancer because of ignorance".
Dr Surendra Shastri head of preventive oncology at TATA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL gave us a stunning information that "There are about 7,00,000 new cases of cancers every year in India out of which tobacco related cancers are about 3,00,000. Cost of treatment of oral cancer is about 3.5 lakh. This can be completely prevented by simple changes in lifestyle and regular screening and even have health benefits that reach beyond cancer."
About 2000 deaths a day in India is tobacco related.
According to the B.B.C "4 in 10 of all cancers in India are oral cancers".
There a number of Photographs of Oral Cancer on this site which can be used for awareness purpose free of cost with due acknowledgement. The acknowledgement should go as follows.

This is because we strongly believe that without sharing these knowledge resource we cannot win the battle against Oral Cancer.
We are having a documentary in Hindi called “Tobacco Kills” which shows the association of Tobacco habit and Mouth cancer. It covers Incidence, Pre malignant lesions, Malignancy, Treatment, and Prevention including ways of Tobacco deaddiction. It has interviews of eminent doctors and patients suffering from Mouth Cancer.
This documentary is in VCD or DVD format which is available at Rs 50/- only and is freely duplicable.
This is again because we strongly believe that without sharing this knowledge resource we cannot win the battle against Oral Cancer.
