Beverly Hills California Periodontist Comments On The Importance Of Oral Cancer Screenings To Detect Early Signs Of Oral Cancer
Oral cancer screenings are often overlooked by those seeking dental care. Dr. Farnoosh advocates for early detection methods.
Beverly Hills, CA, May 2011 – While many early detection systems for commonly known cancers like those affecting the prostate, breast and cervix have become commonplace, the number of people seeking early detection measures for oral cancer is miniscule.
One person dies every hour in this county from oral cancer and it is now the sixth most often diagnosed cancer in America. In fact, this cancer will afflict 30,000 patients per year and close to 100 people are currently diagnosed every day in the U.S. Perhaps even more alarming, only about 50% of those individuals will have survived the disease in 5 years.
