Oral Cancer
Early detection of oral cancer is huge. As with most serious, early detection is key to sucessful outcomes. Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases if detected at an early stage. Every hour of every day, one American dies of oral cancer. The death rate for oral cancer in the United States is higher than cervical cancer. Hodgekin's disease, and cancer of the brain, liver, testes, kidnet, or ovary. More than 30,000 Americans will recieve an oral cancer diagnosis this year. In five years only 57% will still be alive. Twenty-seven percent of oral cancer victims do not use tobacco or alcohol and have no other lifestyle risk factors.
