Summary

This study tests whether using mobile health (mHealth) tools helps find early signs of oral cancer better than the usual visual exam in rural areas of Varanasi, India. Over 5,000 adults with risk factors like smoking, tobacco use, or age over 40 will be screened. The goal is to catch cancer sooner and improve awareness among patients and health workers.
