Abstract: Oral cancer is a major public health issue in Assam, largely due to the prevalent use of tobacco, areca nut, smoking and alcohol. The purpose of the study is to analyse the survival of the cancer patients with the effect of the factors categorized as Personal (age, gender, behavioural factors, education, family income and the locality [rural or urban] and Clinical (cancer directed treatment [CDT], follow-up, topography sites, stage groups, treatment given prior to registration [TGPR], metabolic risks). The study is based on the sample of 1000 patients from the patient database (2015 ? 2020) provided by North East Cancer Hospital & Research Institute (NECHRI), Guwahati, Assam, India. The study uses Life-Table method to examine the effect of several predictor variables (personal and clinical data of the patients) on the survival of the patient. The influence of the significant factors on the survival of the patient is interpreted by using semi-partial correlation. From the study, it is observed that behavioural factor, family income, CDT, follow up, topography sites, stage group, TGPR, MRF and locality (rural / urban) more significant on the survival rate of the patient. On the other hand, gender, educational level and food habits are not significant on the survival rate of the patient.
