Subject. This work examines the level of public awareness about the risk factors for oral cancer, as well as knowledge about preventive measures, early diagnosis opportunities, and the principles of self-examination. Objectives. The aim is to assess the level of knowledge of the population of the Altai Territory in the development of malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity and the principles of their prevention. Methodology. An anonymous survey was conducted of 628 respondents of different ages and social status – residents of the Altai Territory. The results were processed using descriptive and analytical statistics (chi-squared (χ2) to identify differences between the groups). Results. It was revealed that the level of awareness of the population of the Altai Territory about risk factors, prevention and early diagnosis of oral cancer remains insufficient. The most difficult issues are related to the causes of cancer, the role of viruses in oncogenesis, carcinogens, self-diagnosis and screening. Statistically significant differences were found in the responses to some questionnaire questions between urban and rural residents, as well as between young and elderly respondents, residents of the region of different genders and educational levels, however, there were general trends characterizing an extremely low level of self-diagnosis and passing preventive and screening examinations. Conclusions. The data obtained indicate the need to strengthen educational activities among the population, including through the Internet and primary health care, medical organizations. It is important to implement regular screening programs and train citizens in self-control skills. The results of the study can be used to develop targeted preventive and educational measures.
