Health innovations. Oral cancer increasing in India
Description
India accounts for 86% of the world’s cases of oral cancer and 90% of these are linked to tobacco. Incidences of oral cancer are particularly high in areas where chewable tobacco is popular. Selling any tobacco product to minors is illegal in India but a recent survey showed that the number of teenagers who chew tobacco in Mumbai has doubled over the past ten years. Roshan, 17, started chewing tobacco at the age of 8. He now has advanced oral cancer and recently had to have his upper jaw removed.
