Apollo Cancer Centres Launch Oral Cancer Screening Drive for High-Risk Groups

According to the centre, the screening program comprises visual and tactile oral examinations conducted by trained head and neck surgeons.
Apollo Cancer Centres (ACC) has launched #OraLife, an oral cancer screening initiative aimed at early detection among high-risk individuals, including tobacco and alcohol users, those with HPV-16 infection, and individuals with a history of oral lesions.
According to the centre, the screening program comprises visual and tactile oral examinations conducted by trained head and neck surgeons. These assessments identify early indicators such as ulcers, red or white patches, lumps, and non-healing sores.
As part of the initiative, ACC has partnered with the Isha Foundation to offer guided meditation through the Miracle of Mind app. This component is intended as a voluntary wellness support for individuals attempting to quit tobacco use.
Alongside the screening, ACC has also introduced the #CutTheCost campaign to raise awareness about the wider health and financial consequences of tobacco consumption.
“Oral cancer is highly treatable when detected early. We urge everyone over 30, especially tobacco users, to undergo screening,” said Dr. Gopal Kumar, Senior Consultant – Head and Neck Surgical Oncology, Apollo Cancer Centre, Delhi.
