April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month 🦷
Oral cancer can affect anyone, but early detection can save lives.
Here are a few important facts:
• Nearly 54,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer each year
• When caught early, the 5-year survival rate is significantly higher
• Risk factors include to***co use, alcohol consumption, HPV, and prolonged sun exposure (for lip cancer)
