Subjects were selected randomly from the patients those were registered in Cancer Registry Center in Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical sciences and invited to Golestan Hospital for data collection through clinical evaluation, the Oral Health Literacy Adult Questionnaire (OHL-AQ), and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14PER) questionnaire.

The mean oral health literacy in patients with bladder cancer was 9.74\u2009\u00b1\u20092.39, indicating insufficient oral health literacy.
