 Oral cancer can have potentially disfiguring effects on patients, seriously
compromising their quality of life.
 Oral cancer is far too often detected in late stage development -- the
primary reason for the high death rate.
 Early detection of abnormalities can make a large difference in life
expectancy; oral cancer is 90% curable when found early.
 Unfortunately, 70% of oral cancers are diagnosed in the late stages, and
43% of those diagnosed will die within five years.

3.  Age is the primary risk factor for oral cancer. Approximately 90% of oral cancer
victims are age 40 and older, recent studies indicate that increasingly, patients
younger than age 40 are being diagnosed with oral cancer.
 Though tobacco and alcohol use are the primary lifestyle risk factors that
contribute to the development of oral cancer, 27% of oral cancer victims do not use
tobacco or alcohol, and have no lifestyle risk factors.
 Oral cancer affects men more than women; 2:1, but oral cancer in women is on the
rise nationwide.
 Lifestyle risk factors for oral cancer include: Tobacco use (any type, any age,
within 10 years) Alcohol consumption of at least 1 drink per day (3 ounces of hard
liquor, 4 ounces of wine, or 12 ounces of beer)
