Statistically, mouth cancers exhibit a higher mortality rate relative to breast cancer, cervical cancer, or skin melanoma. Despite treatment efforts, the survival rate hovers just above 50%, leading to approximately 1,700 annual deaths in the UK. Late-stage identification contributes significantly to this outcome. Should any irregularities or uncertainties arise, promptly consult your dentist. Consistent dental checkups play a pivotal role in the early recognition of oral abnormalities.
A registered charitable organization, the Mouth Cancer Foundation plays a crucial role in heightening awareness regarding mouth cancers. It serves as a valuable resource, offering guidance, information, and support to patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike.
