Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was done in an institutional setting. The data for the study was retrieved from the college__ampersandsignrsquo;s patient records. All the patients who underwent management of oral cancer at a given time frame from June 2019 - March 2020 were taken into consideration. The patient__ampersandsignrsquo;s name, age, gender, and site of lesion were retrieved and tabulated. The data was analyzed using software (SPSS). Results: A total 41 patients were included in this study, 33 being males and 8 female patients. The common site of occurrence of cancer was found to be most in buccal vestibule (39%), tongue (26.8%), buccal mucosa (12.2%), retromolar area (12.2%), alveolar mucosa (2.4%), lip (2.4%), neck (2.4%), and chest (2.4%). The majority of the patients who participated in this study were between 41-50 years of age. A cross analysis between age and site of cancer and gender and site of cancer was done. The most common age was found to be 41-50 years and more cases were seen in male patients. Conclusion: The most common site of cancer was found to be in buccal vestibule. More number of cases was seen in male patients and the age group in which most cases were seen was 41-50 years.&#13;
