Oral Cancer Screening
Of the thousands of people who are diagnosed with oral cancer each year, two-thirds of the cases are found at the late stages of the disease. This is largely due to the fact that there is not a great level of awareness among the public of the symptoms and signs of oral cancer.
While smoking and alcohol consumption may cause oral cancer, heavy usage of both increases the risk exponentially. Symptoms of oral cancer can include:
- Difficulty swallowing
- Problems chewing
- Sores in and around the mouth that last longer than two weeks
- Small lesions or lumps, pale or dark colored, in the mouth area
- A burning or pain in the location of a tumor
- Red or white areas on the mouth's soft tissues
