Only one-third of people at the precancerous stage of disease succumb to cancer, it would be of practical importance to identify individuals at risk among them. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate high risk factors for oral cancer, to evaluate clinical features and correlate various factors to precancerous lesions and to determine incidence rate and magnitude of precancerous lesions in general population. Material and Methods: In the study, 8846 residents from different wards of Patna are clinically assessed for presence of precancerous lesions and interviewed by cross-sectional study.
