Separate meta- analyses were carried out for patients those who had the habit of having smokeless tobacco with betel leaf and areca nut and tobacco smokers. For this, sort of patients sensitivity analysis for smokers/ nonsmokers were carried out. Oral cancer is often detected at a late stage when treatment is debilitating and the chances of survival rate are poor. Certain ethnic and poor socio-economic groups are at elevated risk of oral cancer due their ignorance and frequency of risk factor. Awareness and early detection is necessary to prevent oral cancer.
