On August 8th and 9th the Fight Oral Cancer Foundation had the opportunity to participate in WFAA’s Health and Fitness Expo held at the Dallas Convention Center, Dallas, TX.  Represented as a non-profit organization we were given the opportunity to speak on “The Five Things You Should Know about Oral Cancer” as well as educate and provide free cancer screenings at our booth.

The FOCF booth had two dentists on site at all times who were able to perform a visual

examination of a total of 120 people during the day and a half they were at the expo.

Results

Day 1 – Fifty people were examined and three possible cancer cases were discovered.
Day 2 – Seventy people were examined and four suspicious lesions were discovered.

Each suspicious case was referred to their dentist for a second opinion and a possible biopsy.

Events like the WFAA Health and Fitness Expo are an important part of The Fight Oral Cancer Foundation’s mission of  bringing awareness to the issues surrounding oral cancer.
