According to CDC, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, survival rates for patients with oral cancer are among the lowest of major cancers. Only one-half the number of persons diagnosed with oral cancer are alive five years after the diagnosis. In contrast to other cancers (e.g. breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers) the overall U.S. survival rate from oral and pharyngeal cancer has not improved during the past 16 years. Survival rates for oral cancer in minorities have decreased. To read more visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Look for signs of oral cancer and do not ignore them or you have ignored your own life.
