In this study the systematic review of trials was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of oral cancer in India. The articles related to the prevalence of Oral Cancer in India were hand searched using electronic databases which includes Prospero, Grey literature, Science Direct, Lilacs, Wiley online library and PubMed. The most common site of Oral cancer in North, East, Central and West zone is Buccal mucosa while in North- east and south zone Tongue is the most affected part. Prevalence rate for Leukoplakia is 37.1%, Speckled leukoplakia is 21.7%, Oral Submucous Fibrosis is 21.1% and Lichen Planus is 19.8%. Highest prevalence can be seen in Males of East zone with 75.7%.The mean age group prevalence is 30- 50 years of age. The study observed a general increase in oral cancer incidence especially in the East Zone. This will pave the path for evidence- based interventions and policies that promote oral health and improve the overall well- being of the population. Indian Government should give importance for the prevention of Oral Cancer by implementing new schemes and providing awareness program to promote the healthy lifestyle and banning of tobacco products.
