Get Started

Oral and oropharyngeal cancers continue to escalate with trends showing a shift in both etiologic pathways and patient profile.We can no longer assume that this type of cancer afflicts older males who are heavy tobacco and alcohol users, as today’s oral and oropharyngeal cancers are increasingly seen in younger patients without the traditional risk factors.This changing landscape has elevated a critical need for our professional community to re-evaluate our screening practices. Subtle, and often life-saving symptoms are too often overlooked, mistaken for other medical conditions, all leading to late-stage discovery.With this we can expect more invasive treatment, disfigurement, and reduced clinical outcomes. It is time to take our position on the frontline translating our efforts into earlier discovery, improved survival rates, and better quality of life for our patients.

4 minutes of our time may translate into a lifetime for our patient.
