Details  1.Head and neck cancers planned for palliative chemotherapy, post first line palliative chemotherapy failure
a.Patients who have failed within 6 months of curative treatment, where chemotherapy was a part will be considered.
2.Age : Any age ≥18 years

c.Total bilirubin < 1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal
d.AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal
e.Calculated Creatinine clearance > 30 ml/min
6.The effects of chemotherapy on the developing human fetus are teratogenic. Hence women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

3.History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to any agents used in study.
4.Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, active tuberculosis, uncontrolled diabetes, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, renal failure (on dialysis), active gastrointestinal bleeding, cerebrovascular accidents within last 1 year, inflammatory bowel disease, known hyperkalemia ( CTCAE version 5 grade 3 or above which is persistent over 1 week) or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

Brief Summary  

 Disease burden related to tobacco consumption and oral cancer is high in eastern region of Uttar Pradesh. Due to this, our study is planned to assess the effectiveness of different tobacco intervention methods for tobacco cessation as well as to find out potential pre malignant and malignant lesion and to provide appropriate health intervention at an earliest stage.

           Screening camp will be organized in coordination of Municipal office Varanasi city. Total 1200 municipal employees will be enrolled in the study. In each camp around 100-150 employees will be invited to attend the cancer awareness session and free oral cancer screening. After the cancer awareness session, Informed consent will be obtained to participate in this study. Those who are not willing to participate in the study, oral cancer screening will be offered. Participants with suspected oral lesion will be referred to HBCH/MPMMCC as per the MOU signed between HBCH/MPMMCC and Municipal Office Varanasi.

          Participants with current tobacco history will be randomly divided into groups for application of one of the behavioural intervention for tobacco cessation.  Participant will be followed up at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year to assess the tobacco cessation. If they have found using tobacco during follow up, the same intervention will be repeated, which was applied during recruitment of the participant in the study, except for those who had received group counselling initially. These participants will be provided individual counselling during follow up. Analysis of tobacco cessation rate will be done by assessing level of dependence using Fagerstrom scale.
