Also, for Turkey “ağız kanseri”, “dilkanseri”, “dudak kanseri” and “damak kanseri” terms were used.Average search volume indexes of all terms for April, Septemberand November, which are declared as oral cancer awarenessmonths by different societies, were calculated. Results: For terms, “mouth cancer” and “oral cancer”, Novemberaverages in the United Kingdom and April averages in the USAwere higher compared to all months (p<0.05). Averages for“mouth cancer” and “oral cancer” were higher on November andApril, respectively for worldwide (p<0.05).
