Background: To create awareness about oral cancers, various events are being organized such as “oral cancer awareness month”. Google Trends is an application which is used to determine the relative frequency of a search term and is used for different purposes in the field of medicine, recently. The aim of this study is to determine the research popularity of terms about oral cancers using Google Trends and to investigate the relationship between various awareness events.
Material and Methods: Search Volume Indexes for terms “oral cancer” and “mouth cancer” for the USA, United Kingdom, and worldwide were obtained from Google Trends. Also, for Turkey “ağız kanseri”, “dil kanseri”, “dudak kanseri” and “damak kanseri” terms were used. Average search volume indexes of all terms for April, September and November,which are declared as oral cancer awareness months by different societies, were calculated.
Results: For terms, “mouth cancer” and “oral cancer”, November averages in the United Kingdom and April averages in the USA were higher compared to all months (p<0.05). Averages for “mouth cancer” and “oral cancer” were higher on November and April, respectively for worldwide (p<0.05). No statistically significant relationship was observed between November, April, September averages and all months averages for “ağız kanseri”, “dil kanseri”, “dudak kanseri” and “damak kanseri” terms.
Conclusion: Awareness months are effective in the context of search volume index in United Kingdom, USA, and worldwide. In Turkey, awareness months may be organized or already existing events may be improved.

Amaç: Ağız kanserleri hakkında farkındalık yaratmak amacıyla, ‘ağız kanseri farkındalık ayı’ gibi çeşitli etkinlikler düzenlenmektedir. Google Trends bir arama teriminin aranma sıklığını göreceli olarak değerlendirmekte kullanılmakta ve bu uygulama sağlık alanında çeşitli amaçlarla kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Google Trends kullanılarak ağız kanserleri ile ilgili terimlerin aranma popülaritesinin değerlendirilmesi ve çeşitli ağız kanseri farkındalık etkinlikleri ile ilişkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Google Trends uygulamasından, “oral cancer” ve “mouth cancer” terimlerinin ABD, Birleşik Krallık ve dünya genelinde arama hacim indeksleri elde edildi. Türkiye için de; “ağız kanseri”, “dil kanseri”, “dudak kanseri” ve “damak kanseri” terimleri kullanıldı. Farklı topluluklar tarafından organize edilen etkinlik ayları olan Nisan, Eylül ve Kasım aylarında ilgili terimler için arama hacim indeksleri hesaplandı.
Bulgular: “Mouth cancer” ve “oral cancer” terimleri için Kasım ayı arama hacim indeksleri Birleşik Krallık’ ta ve Nisan ayı arama hacim indeksleri ABD’ de diğer ayların ortalamalarından yüksek bulundu (p<0.05). Dünya genelinde, “mouth cancer” ve “oral cancer” terimleri için arama hacim indeksleri iki terim için sırasıyla Kasım ve Nisan aylarında yüksek bulundu (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Arama hacim indeksi değerleri bağlamında incelendiğinde, farkındalık ayları ABD, Birleşik Krallık ve Dünya genelinde etkili etkinliklerdir. Türkiye’ de de ağız kanserleri için farkındalık ayları düzenlenebilir ya da mevcut etkinlikler daha ileri düzeye taşınabilir.
