Oral cancer is a highly lethal disease and one of the most debilitating and disfiguring of all malignancies in the world. According to Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) 2010 report, 60% of tobacco users in India use only smokeless tobacco. Among 206 million smokeless tobacco users, 65.1 million are consuming gutkha. In recent years, gutkha is recognized as a life threatening disorder with the serious health consequences. The aim of this review is to increase the attention to complete ban of tobacco use, awareness, knowledge, and beliefs of public about the harms of not only gutkha but also all other tobacco products and also to promote the intentions to quit the habits.
口腔癌是一种高致死性疾病,也是世界上所有恶性肿瘤中最具致残性和毁容性的疾病之一。根据《2010年全球成人烟草调查》(GATS)报告,印度60%的烟草使用者只使用无烟烟草。在2.06亿无烟烟草使用者中,有6510万人在食用古特卡。近年来,古特卡被认为是一种危及生命的疾病,会带来严重的健康后果。本综述的目的是提高人们对全面禁止烟草使用的关注,增强公众对不仅古特卡而且所有其他烟草制品危害的认识、知识和信念,并促进人们戒烟的意愿。
