ORAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH by 20210420 Every hour, 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year, some­one dies of oral or oropha­ryn­geal can­cer (can­cer of the mouth and up­per throat). This year an es­ti­mat­ed 54,000 new cas­es of oral can­cer will be di­ag­nosed. Of those in­di­vid­u­als, 43 per­cent will not sur­vive longer than five years, and many who do sur­vive, suf­fer long-term prob­lems such as se­vere fa­cial dis­fig­ure­ment or dif­fi­cul­ties with eat­ing and speak­ing. The mor­tal­i­ty rate as­so­ci­at­ed with oral and oropha­ryn­geal can­cers re­mains par­tic­u­lar­ly high be­cause the can­cers rou­tine­ly are dis­cov­ered late in their de­vel­op­ment. Yet, if oral can­cer is de­tect­ed and treat­ed ear­ly, treat­ment-re­lat­ed health prob­lems are re­duced and sur­vival rates may in­crease.
