Description
Yahya Fayaz and six co-authors published a survey study in twenty twenty-four on oral cancer awareness among dental students and interns in Kabul, Afghanistan. Oral cancer ranks among the commonest cancers in the country, and dentists are its first line of detection. The team measured what future dentists at one university actually know.
A fourteen-question survey ran from April to November twenty twenty-two, reaching four hundred fifty-three students and interns. About three quarters named smoking and tobacco chewing as causes, and most knew the disease is not contagious. Mean knowledge scores were modest, slightly higher in men. The authors conclude awareness is insufficient for a group expected to catch the disease early, and teaching needs strengthening.
